Etymology

Of uncertain origin. Two possibilities are:

• From Old Latin *augus (“increase”) (genitive *augeris), which is related to auge? (“to increase”). This could be inherited from Proto-Indo-European *h?éwgos; compare Sanskrit ???? (ojas, “strength, vigor”), Avestan ????????????????????? (aojah), ????????????????????? (aogah, “might, power”) as well as Latin augustus (< *h?ewgos-tos).
• From avis (“bird”) + garrire (“to talk”), as augurs were known to observe the behavior of birds.

Pronunciation

• (Classical) IPA^(key): /?au?.?ur/, [?äu???r]
• (Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /?au?.?ur/, [???u??ur]
