Unknown. Possibly from Proto-Italic *aijō or *aitis, from Proto-Indo-European *hβ‚‚ey-. Cognates with Oscan aeteis, Ancient Greek Ξ±αΌ΄Ξ½Ο…ΞΌΞ±ΞΉ (aΓ­numai), Tocharian B ai-, and Tocharian A e- (β€œto give, take”). Possibly from Proto-Italic *agō, from Proto-Indo-European *hβ‚‚Γ©Η΅eti, from Proto-Indo-European *hβ‚‚eΗ΅-. If this theory were accurate, the term would be cognate with Latin agō.
