abasi

1. abasia (An incapacity to walk)

First part of the word is the prefix a- (“a-”), from Greek α- (a-, “a-, an-, in-, un-, -less”), from Ancient Greek ἀ- (a-, “not, without”), from Proto-Hellenic *ə- (“un-, not; without, lacking”), from Proto-Indo-European *n̥- (“not, un-”). Last part from Ancient Greek βάσις (básis, “step, foot, base. rhythm”), from Proto-Hellenic *gʷə́tis (“step”), from Proto-Indo-European *gʷémtis (“step, act of walking”), from *gʷem- (“to step, go, stand”), perhaps from *gʷeh₂- (“to step, go, stand”) + *-tis (“derives abstract/action nouns from verb roots”).
