aberats

From Wiktionary, the free dictionary

Basque

Etymology

[edit]

A compound of abere (cattle) plus some unknown element. This may be a suffix -ts denoting abundance, which is also allegedly present in other formations, such as adats (hair, foliage), from adar (horn).[1] However, a Latin (or Spanish) influence is more probable: compare Galician haberoso (rich, wealthy).[2]
