Etymology

Probably inherited from the nominative case of Latin adiacēns, present participle of adiaceō (compare Medieval Latin in aiace). Cognate with Old Occitan aize.

A borrowing from Frankish *ansiju (eyelet, handle, arms akimbo, elbow room) is unlikely, but could've affected the semantics of the native French form.

Noun

eise oblique singularf (oblique plural eises, nominative singular eise, nominative plural eises)

  1. Elbow room, empty space; opportunity
  2. Ease (lack of anxiety)
