The standard reference DUDEN says: 1. er- expresses that something
becomes something. Verbs with er- mostly belong to a higher (more
educated WMR] language. 2. er- expresses that someone achieves a
specific result by means of some action or thought process. 3. er-
expresses that a process begins or something begins to exhibit a
reaction. Mostly in written language.

Russian and then become "latinzed" in English via "ex"-perience
