Ancient Greek

Etymology 1

Connection with ἄδδαυον (áddauon) is problematic, as a compound with αὖος (aûos) is improbable; Latte corrects this in *ἀδδανον (*addanon). Nearest cognate seems Old Czech ozd (“dry malt”), Czech ozditi (“to dry malt”), from Proto-Indo-European *h₂esd-, perhaps ultimately from the root *h₂e(H)s- (“to dry, burn”).[1] Leiden scholars Beekes, Kloekhorst and Kroonen have a simpler solution: ἄζω continues Proto-Indo-European *h₂ed-ye-, from *h₂ed- (“dry”) (of which *h₂eHs- is likely an extension of, via an earlier form *h₂ed-s-) the root found in Hittite 𒄩𒀀𒋾 (ḫāt-, “to dry up, become parched”);[2][3] cf. words in Germanic with an added velar: Gothic 𐌰𐌶𐌲𐍉 (azgō, “ash”), Old High German azgo (“ash”) (< Proto-Germanic *askǭ ~ *azgǭ).[4] Without the final consonants, Latin āreō (“to be dry, parched up”), probably also Latin āra, from Old Latin āsa (“altar”), which is also found in Hittite 𒄩𒀸𒊭𒀀𒀸 (h̯āššāš, “fireplace, hearth”). The Latin long a is explained from the perfect *h₂e-h₂s-,[5] though Beekes prefers a glottalic *h₂eh₁s- that dissimilated from *h₂ed-s-.[2] Further, Sanskrit आस (ā́sa, “ashes, dust”), which may continue Indo-European *h₂oso-[6] or *h₂eHso-.[2]
