ETYMOLOGY

ON (pl.) ertr, OS erit, eriwit, OHG arawīz, araweiz, MHG areweiʒ, arwîʒ, arwîs, arbeiʒ, erbîʒ NHG Erbse; from PGmc ✱arwīt- 'pea' < ✱arw-īd- (NIE); cf. Latin ervum 'bitter vetch', Greek ὄροβος 'bitter vetch', ἐρέβινθος 'chick pea'
Probably borrowed from a non-IE language once spoken in Europe.
In MHG, from the 13th c. on, beginning in Upper German dialects, the -w- in areweiz etc. shifts to -b-, becoming dominant in the 15th c. The German loss of the vowel in -weiz etc. began in the 15th c.
