Proto-Celtic

Etymology

From Proto-Indo-European *h₂énh₁ti (to breathe), from the root *h₂enh₁-. Though this etymology is generally accepted, the semantic link is uncertain (maybe via “to exhale, to breathe deeply, to relax, to take a break”). For a parallel development, Matasović compares the derivation of Serbo-Croatian odàhnuti (to pause) from dȁh (breath).[1]
Cognate with Proto-Germanic *ananą and Sanskrit अनिति (ániti).
