Etymology 2

From Proto-Indo-European *h₂ews- (“to scoop, draw (water)”), whence also Proto-Germanic *ausaną (“to scoop, draw water”) and Latin hauriō (“to draw water, drain”). The Greek verb's connection with fire appears to be a secondary development.[2]

Older theories derive the word, perhaps based on the aforementioned connotation with fire, from Proto-Hellenic *ahúhyō, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂sús-ye-ti (“to be dry”), comparing with Sanskrit शुष्यति (śúṣyati, “to be dry”), Old Church Slavonic соушити (sušiti, “to dry”). (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?)

Verb

αὔω • (aúō) (poetic)
