If “angry” can be traced back to Greek and Sanskrit cognates, then it wouldn’t be a great leap to assume that Angra in the “Old Persian” language at the time of Zoroaster would also be connected. Thanks for the info!

Timing wise, it is quite possible that such words would make their way from the Greco-Roman (Greek) and Indo-Roman (Sanskrit) world into Roman England and then into the Viking world when the Vikings attacked England and took women and slaves back home.

That said, Rome had trade with India when Julius Caesar was emperor and afterward.

If you follow the language, you can learn a lot of history.

The Middle Ages (13th century) are actually only a short time ago nowadays. Tracing language back even further is coming shortly.

Word etymology will experience a great leap forward (backward?)in the digital age and with honest academics poring over all written accounts of history.

Even the Resurrection of Jesus is now considered a historical fact by many historians and theologians who have studied it from an evidentiary POV (eye witness accounts).
