The exact source is unknown. Not from Akkadian 𒇽𒂠𒂷 (LU2.ḪUN.GA2 /agru/, “hired man”). Maybe from Old Persian *angarā (“missive, letter”), a reconstructed word which is from Aramaic *𐡀𐡍𐡂𐡓𐡀 (*’engarā), form of *𐡀𐡍𐡂𐡓𐡕𐡀 (*’engartā), variant of 𐡀𐡂𐡓𐡕𐡀 (’iggartā), 𐡀𐡍𐡂𐡓𐡕𐡀 (’engirtā, “missive, letter; contract”), from Akkadian 𒂊𒄈𒌅 (egirtu, “inscribed tablet; oracle of fate, ambiguous wording; contract, bound deal”), from 𒄃 (egēru, “to be difficult, to be twisted or locked together; to have a twisted tongue, to be unable to speak against an order”).[1]
Or from Old Persian *hankarah (“messenger”).[2]
