The etymology of this word hinges on whether Oscan urust should be accepted as cognate:

• If so, this word is from Proto-Indo-European *h₂er- (“to pronounce a ritual”) (Rix reconstructs Proto-Italic *ōrāō^[1]), see also Hittite 𒀀𒊑𒉿𒄑𒍣 (a-ru-wa-ez-zi, “to worship, revere”), 𒀀𒊑𒂊𒄑𒍣 (a-ri-e-ez-zi, “to consult an oracle”), Attic Greek ἀρά (ará, “prayer”), and Sanskrit आर्यन्ति (āryanti, “praise”).^[2][3]
• If not, then a derivation from ōs, ōris (“mouth”) becomes possible; this is still supported by De Vaan.^[4][5]

• (Classical Latin) IPA^(key): /ˈoː.roː/, [ˈoːroː]
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /ˈo.ro/, [ˈɔːro]

ōrō (present infinitive ōrāre, perfect active ōrāvī, supine ōrātum); first conjugation

1. to orate, deliver a speech publicly

¹At least one use of the Old Latin "sigmatic future" and "sigmatic aorist" tenses is attested, which are used by Old Latin writers; most notably Plautus and Terence. The sigmatic future is generally ascribed a future or future perfect meaning, while the sigmatic aorist expresses a possible desire ("might want to").
²At least one rare poetic syncopated perfect form is attested.
