Thus Pokorny:

<< Old Irish aire (*arios) and airech 'nobleman, of noble people,
suitor' can belong to preposition air- 'in front of', thus 'standing
in the first place' (Thurneysen ZCP. 20, 354). >>

Cf. R. Matasovic's etymological lexicon of Proto-Celtic:

<< Proto-Celtic: *fare 'in front of' [Preposition]

Old Irish: air, ar [aspirating, +Acc, +Dat.]

Middle Welsh: ar-, er-

Middle Breton: er-, ar

Gaulish: Are-morici [Ethnonym]

Celtiberian: are-korata (A 52)

Proto-Indo-European : *prH(i) 'in front of' >>
