Proto-Tungusic

Etymology

Benzing derives it from an earlier *edei, from *ede + *-i, which is affectionate form of *edē (“man”). For similar development, compare *asī (“married woman, wife”).

According to Rozycki, the descendants with the sense of "master, host" are direct loans from Mongolian and the Common Tungusic word for "husband" is a pre-loan correspondence of Proto-Mongolic *eǰen (“master”)[1]. However, the Proto-Mongolic word is more likely a borrowing from a Turkic source, ultimately from Proto-Turkic *edi (“owner, possessor; Lord, God”).

Doerfer suggests a glottogonic origin. See more at TMN[2] and MT[3].
