Etymology
From Middle English auctour, from Anglo-Norman autour, from Old French autor, from Latin auctor, from auge? (“to increase, originate”). The h, also found in English autheur, is unetymological as there is no h in the original Latin spelling. The OED attributes the h to contamination by authentic.
