Etymology 2

From Pre-Germanic *h₃orbʰmos, with loss of -b- before -m-, from Proto-Indo-European *h₃erbʰ-, whence English orphan. Compare the Norse variant aumr, as from *arbmaz with no loss of -b-, which mirrors the dissimilation of Old Norse haustr from *harbistaz.

Alternatively, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁erm- (poor, ill) and cognate with Hittite 𒅕𒈠𒀭 (erman, sickness).
