First attested in c. 13th century..\nHowever, this does not explain how the unusual semantic development fully happened; Coromines thinks the meaning for ring could be of substrate origin, possibly borrowed from a Vasconic language, possibly cognate with Basque ao (“mouth”), or through a Celtic language, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₂er- (“to join”), cognate with Sanskrit अर (ara, “spoke (of a wheel)”) and Latin arma, possibly also being the source for Galician arna and Asturian arna.\nCognate with Spanish aro and Galician aro.",
