Etymology

From Proto-Italic *haizēō, the root of which is unknown: traditionally conjectured to be from Proto-Indo-European *gʰays- (“to adhere, to stick, to be fixed”) and cognate with Latvian gaist (“to dissipate”), Lithuanian gaĩšti (“to linger, be slow”),[1] though this root is problematic due to the presence of *a, the unclear morphology, and the semantic gap between purported cognates.[2]
