Old French
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 singular, f (oblique plural eises, nominative singular eise, nominative plural eises)
- Elbow room, empty space; opportunity
- Ease (lack of anxiety)
