• “aise” in Orotariko Euskal Hiztegia [General Basque Dictionary], euskaltzaindia.eus

From Middle French aise, from Old French aise, eise, of uncertain origin. Historically believed to be derived from Vulgar Latin *adiacēs, *adiace(m), from Latin adiacēns, present participle of adiaceō (compare Medieval Latin in aiace). If so, then cognate with Old Occitan aize; compare also Catalan eina, Italian agio, and a doublet of adjacent, a learned borrowing. Compare also Frankish *ansiju (“loop, handle, arms akimbo, elbow room”).
