Etymology edit
Probably inherited from the nominative case of Latin adiacēns, present participle of adiaceō (compare Medieval Latin in aiace). Cognate with Old Occitan aize.
A borrowing from Frankish *ansiju (“eyelet, handle, arms akimbo, elbow room”) is unlikely, but could've affected the semantics of the native French form.
Noun edit
eise oblique singular, f (oblique plural eises, nominative singular eise, nominative plural eises)
- Elbow room, empty space; opportunity
- Ease (lack of anxiety)
- c. 1180,, Chrétien de Troyes, Lancelot ou le Chevalier de la charrette:
- Et vos an seroiz plus a eise :
Ne cuit mie que molt vos pleise- You will be more at ease:
I don't think that you like me
- You will be more at ease:
