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”).
