Etymology

Conflation of an r/n-stem (where both stems are conflated, thus gen. itineris from inherited *itinis and analogical *iteris; compare iecur and f?mur), from Proto-Indo-European reconstructed as *h?éy-tr? ~ *h?i-tén-, from *h?ey- (whence e?). Cognate with Tocharian A yt?rye (“path, road”), Avestan ????????????????? (i?na) in ????????????????????-????????????????-? (paⁱri-i?na-, “(end of) lifetime”). Traditionally considered cognate also with Hittite ???????? (itar), a hapax legomenon widely believed to mean “road, path”, but in recent years the existence of this word has come into question, and it has been reinterpreted as a misreading and a ghost word.
