Etymology

From Proto-Italic *eitər, *eitor, conflation of an r/n-stem (where both stems are conflated, thus gen. itineris from inherited *itinis and analogical *iteris; compare iecur and femur), from Proto-Indo-European reconstructed as *h₁éy-tr̥ ~ *h₁i-tén-, from *h₁ey- (whence eō).

Cognate with Tocharian A ytārye (“path, road”), Avestan 𐬌𐬚𐬥𐬀 (iθna) in 𐬞𐬀𐬌𐬭𐬌-𐬌𐬚𐬥𐬀- (pairi-iθna-, “(end of) lifetime”).
