From Middle English, from Old English eart (“(thou) art”), second-person singular present indicative of beon-wesan, from Proto-Germanic *ar-t (“(thou) art", originally, "(thou) becamest”), second-person singular preterite indicative form of *iranan (“to rise, be quick, become active”), from Proto-Indo-European *er-, *or(w)- (“to lift, rise, set in motion”). Cognate with Icelandic ert (“art”), Old English earon (“are”), from the same preterite-present Germanic verb. More at are.
