Probably from Proto-Germanic *ansijō (“loop, handle”) mixed with *asa, inherited from Latin ānsa (“handle”), perhaps also formally influenced by the Latin in the literary language. Cf. German Öse (“eyelet”), Romansch ansa, onsa (“eyelet”); contrast the inherited Sardinian asa (“handle”), Lombard asa (“handle”) and aseta (“loop”), Verona Venetian asa (“soffit”), Abruzzo Neapolitan asa (“door hinge”), Calabria Sicilian asa (“handle”), Portuguese asa (“wing; handle”), Galician asa (“handle”), Spanish asa (“handle”).

Anagrams edit

Latin edit

Etymology edit

From Proto-Indo-European *h₂emseh₂ (“handle”),[1][2] from *h₂em- (“to grasp”). Compare Lithuanian ąsa (“jug handle”), Proto-Germanic *ansijō (“handle, loop, eyelet”), Ancient Greek ἡνία (hēnía, “rein, bridle”). See also amplus (“ample”), ampla (“handle”), which the word was traditionally linked to, but which are not considered cognate anymore based on modern analysis.[1]

ānsa f (genitive ānsae); first declension

  1. handle
  2. tiller (handle of the rudder)
