Etymology
From Middle English eesy, esy, partly from Middle English ese (“ease”) + -y, equivalent to ease +? -y, and partly from Old French aisié (“eased, at ease, at leisure”), past participle of aisier (“to put at ease”), from aise (“empty space, elbow room, opportunity”), of uncertain origin. See ease. Merged with Middle English ethe, eathe (“easy”), from Old English ?eþe, from Proto-Germanic *auþuz, from Proto-Indo-European *aut- (“empty, lonely”). Compare also Old Saxon ?þi, Old High German ?di, Old Norse auðr, all meaning "easy, vacant, empty." More at ease, eath.
