Old High German

Etymology

Of obscure formation. Likely from an unrecorded verb *ābarēn (“to be uncovered, be bare”) or *ābarōn (“to uncover, lay bare, expose”), from ā- (“from, away, lacking, absent, reversal”) + bar (“bare”); or from a verb *āberan (“to not bear, not carry”). Probably influenced in meaning by Latin aprīcus.

Adjective

ābar

1. sunny
2. warm
3. dry

• Middle High German: āber
  • Alemannic German: aaber, oober, ääber
