Inherited from Old French aguisier, from Vulgar Latin *acutiāre, from Latin acūtus, the past participle of acuō. Compare Catalan agusar, Italian aguzzare, Occitan agusar, Portuguese aguçar, Spanish aguzar. The initial -ai- can probably be explained through a hypothetical proto-French or late Vulgar Latin intermediate form *ayguydzar(e), from assimilation of the palatal approximant in the second syllable of an earlier *aguydzare. In this hypothesis, the Old French form aguisier may be due to influence from agu (cf. aigu).
