err

Etymology 1

From Middle English erren, from Old French errer (“to wander, err, mistake”), from Latin errō (“wander, stray, err, mistake”, verb), from Proto-Indo-European *h₁ers- (“to be angry, lose one's temper”). Cognate with Old English eorre, ierre (“anger, wrath, ire”), Old English iersian (“to be angry with, rage, irritate, provoke”), Old English ierre (“wandering, gone astray, confused”).

Etymology 2

Etymology

According to Orel, Proto-Albanian *ausra (“twilight”), from Proto-Indo-European *h₂ews- (“dawn”) (compare English Easter, Latin aurōra, Lithuanian aušrà).

Another theory links it to Proto-Indo-European *h₁régʷos. Cognate with Old Armenian երեկ (erek, “evening”), Sanskrit रजस् (rájas, “dimness, darkness, mist”) and Old Norse røkkr (“twilight”).
