Etymology

From Proto-Indo-Iranian *atHthi- (guest), and cognate with Avestan 𐬀𐬯𐬙𐬌 (asti, guest). Further origin is unclear; the word is traditionally taken as a derivative of अत् (at, to go constantly), but this is not certain, and Lubotsky disagrees with this derivation. Schwartz and Malkiel instead propose a relation with व्यथ् (vyath, to waver).
