Etymology 1

From Ancient Greek ἄστυ (ástu, “town, city”).

Noun

astū n (indeclinable)

  1. city, Athens specifically
    • 161 BCE, Publius Terentius Afer, Eunuchus 5.5.15–18:
      PARMENŌ. Tum quandam fidicinam amat hīc Chaerea.
      LACHĒS. Hem, quid? amat? an scit iam ille quid meretrīx siet?
      An in Astū vēnit? aliud ex aliō malum.
      PARMENŌ. Here, nē mē spectēs: mē impulsōre haec nōn facit.
      PARMENO. Then, Chaerea is in love with some lyre player here.
      LACHES. Huh, what? He's in love? Does he know already what a prostitute is?
      Or is he come to Athens? From one misfortune to another.
      PARMENO. Master, don't look at me: he doesn't do that with me as impeller.
