Etymology

From paš +‎ reize (“time”) (perhaps originally a locative form, pašā reizē), where paš is a stem variant of pats (“self”), here apparently with the meaning of “exact(ly),” “direct(ly),” “outright,” “immediately.” The general meaning would have changed from “(at its) own time”, “at that time” (the latter still attested) to “at this immediate time” = “now.”[1]
