Question

Identify the term of the above question in the image.

Answer 1

The original meaning of the term is unknown and different meanings have been proposed, the most common being nobleman. During the 19th century CE, it was proposed that this was not only the Indo-Iranian tribal self-designation but also the self-designation used by the ancestors of all Indo-Europeans, which is a theory no longer accepted. Aryan then came to be used as a synonym of Indo-European. Some time later it was further proposed that the ancestors of the Indo-European people had their homeland located in northern Europe, implying that Indo-Europeans were originally of a Nordic racial type. Thus, Aryan developed yet another, purely racial meaning, probably one of the most familiar meanings today.
