The exact derivational pathway from this root is disputed:\n* De Vaan and Nussbaum derive Latin rota from a simple nominalization of the feminine singular of the agentive adjective *Hroth₂ós.\n* Stifter, also starting off from an agentive adnominal *Hroth₂ós, supposes that Latin rota instead derives from the neuter collective/plural.\n* Höfler and Yates, by contrast, take Latin rota as an *(o)-éh₂ formation *(H)rotéh₂, and posit Sanskrit रथ (ratha) as from *(H)rot-h₂-ós, a possessive derivative of the feminine word.",

The exact derivational pathway from this root is disputed:\n* De Vaan and Nussbaum derive Latin rota from a simple nominalization of the feminine singular of the agentive adjective *Hroth₂ós.\n* Stifter, also starting off from an agentive adnominal *Hroth₂ós, supposes that Latin rota instead derives from the neuter collective/plural.\n* Höfler and Yates, by contrast, take Latin rota as an *(o)-éh₂ formation *(H)rotéh₂, and posit Sanskrit रथ (ratha) as from *(H)rot-h₂-ós, a possessive derivative of the feminine word.",
