Etymology

From *ob- + an obscure element *rět-, possibly from Proto-Balto-Slavic *wrēt-, also found in Proto-Slavic *sъrěsti (“to encounter”). Cognate with Lithuanian surė̃sti (“to seize”). Per Trubachev, the most likely cognates are Ancient Greek εὑρίσκω (heurískō, “to find, to acquire”) (aor. εὗρον (heûron)), Old Irish ·fúar (“I found”) < *wewr- (3sg. passive -fríth (“it was found”) < *wrē-to), Old Armenian գերեմ (gerem, “to capture, take prisoner”). However, LIV derives these from *wreh₁- (“to find”) (Matasović similarly from *werh₁- (“to find”)), and tentatively derives the Slavic verb from a verbal root Proto-Indo-European *reh₁t- (“to encounter, to find”). See: Proto-Slavic '*sъrěsti'.
