Latin

Etymology

The origin is unknown. Sometimes thus called Etruscan, but this is in the first place not likely since the old Latins were agriculturalists nor are there formal grounds, compare Latin genista (“broom”) for this formation.

A derivation from Proto-Indo-European is likely, but concrete relations are unknown. ?op has presented as cognates Lithuanian as?s, es?s, esi?klis, asi?klis (“horsetail, equisetum”), Latvian aši, ašas, ašavi, ašavas, ašenes, aš?i, až?i (“horsetail, equisetum”) (elsewhere one lists a Latgalian aš?i (“horsetail, equisetum”) and puts to the forms also Thracian ??? (?s?, “coltsfoot”)), Lithuanian asnìs, ašnìs (“long, protruding hair of a fur animal; rye shoots; edge or sharpness of a scythe”), Epic Greek ??? (?ïa, “chaff; provisions”), Irish eorna (“barley”) and Hittite [script needed] (ha-a-as /??s(s)-/, “ashes; potash; soap”), Hittite [script needed] (ha-a-su-wa-a-i^SAR /??suw?i-/, “soapwort; harmal”), but Puhvel finds these alleged cognates motley, and the Hittite word belongs to Proto-Indo-European *h?eHs- related to burning and ashes, and the Irish word is from Proto-Celtic *yewos, from Proto-Indo-European *yéwos (“barley”) also in Proto-Indo-Iranian *yáwas (“barley”). But the comparison just to the Baltic horsetail-words was already made by Bezzenberger.
A relation to arund? (“reed”) is somewhat likely, while its etymology is likewise unknown. A relation with Proto-Indo-European *h?er- (“related to moving, rising”) is considered.
