## Irish
### Etymology

From Middle Irish altra (“foster father”), from Proto-Celtic *altrawū (“foster uncle”) (compare Welsh athro (“teacher”)), from *aleti (“feed, raise”) (from Proto-Indo-European *h₂el- (“to nourish”)) and *awū (“uncle”) (from Proto-Indo-European *h₂éwh₂os (“maternal grandfather/uncle”)).

### Noun

altra m or f (genitive singular altra, nominative plural altraí)
* (obsolete, always masculine) foster father
* (rare) nurse

#### Usage notes

This word has always been rare in modern Irish. The sense ‘nurse’ was revived in the late 20th century as a politically correct and gender-neutral alternative to banaltra, which contains the feminine prefix ban-. Among native Irish-speakers, however, the everyday term was, and still is, banaltra. A male nurse may be called banaltra fir (literally “nurse of a man”).
