Etymology
Origin obscure. Possibly from Vulgar Latin *adjace(m), from Latin adiacēns, present participle of adiaceō (compare Medieval Latin in aiace). Cognate with Old Occitan aize.
Alternatively, perhaps from Vulgar Latin *āsia, *ansia, from Frankish *ansiju (“eyelet, handle, arms akimbo, elbow room”).
