Etymology

From {{etyl, la, en}} uraeus, from (Ancient Greek)  οὐραῖος. This is traditionally assumed to be from {{der, en, egy, jꜥrt, , cobra in threat posture}}, i-a:r:*t-I12, from jꜥr, , to rise, climb; however, on phonetic grounds, Gundacker, following Fecht, argues for an origin in {{der, en, egy, wrrt, , white crown, lit=the great one}} instead.Gundacker, Roman (2011) “On the Etymology of the Egyptian Crown Name mrsw.t*: An “Irregular” Subgroup of m-Prefix Formations” in Lingua Aegyptia, volume 19, page 37
