eise

1. Alternative form of ese

• aise

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.

eise oblique singular, f (oblique plural eises, nominative singular eise, nominative plural eises)

1. Elbow room, empty space; opportunity
2. 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

• French: aise
