Etymology
From Akkadian 𒌷𒀕 (/uruk/), from Sumerian 𒀕 (unug, “abode, site, location, seat, typically in reference to a deity's earthly dwelling”) either as a phonetic alteration of the Sumerian or influenced as a calque translation using Akkadian 𒌷 (/uru/, “city, place of dwelling or collecting under”).
