"euskara" meaning in Basque

See euskara in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /eu̯s̺kaɾa/, [eu̯s̺.ka.ɾa]
Rhymes: -aɾa Etymology: Ostensibly from Proto-Basque *euskala. It certainly contains the suffix -(k)era, -(k)ara (“in the manner of”) added to some rather obscure first element. This component may be connected to Ausci, the Latin name of an Aquitanian tribe documented by Pliny, although the initial diphthongs are different. Alternatively, it has been pointed out that the historiographer Esteban de Garibay (1533-1599) wrote euskara as enusquera, with intervocalic -n-. Thus, the unknown component could also be interpreted as coming from Proto-Basque *enauśi (“to say, tell”), whence the stem -io- (or -iño in Biscayan) of Modern Basque esan. The entire compound would therefore mean “way of saying”.
