### Pronunciation

* (Vedic) IPA: /ɐ́t.ɾɐ/
* (Classical Sanskrit) IPA: /ɐt̪.ɾɐ/

### Etymology 1

From Proto-Indo-Iranian *átra (“there, to that place”), cognate with Avestan 𐬀𐬚𐬭𐬀 (aθra, “there, to that place”), 𐬀𐬚𐬭𐬁 (aθrā), derived from the anaphoric pronominal stem Proto-Indo-European *h₁e (“he/she, aforementioned”), which was suppletive to *ís.
