Tagalog

Etymology

From Proto-Central-Philippine *áyaw ("to leave, redistribute") + -an (ayawanaywanewaniwan). Cognates with Mansaka ayaw (to leave) and Cebuano ayaw (to cry (as a child) when left behind). See also ayaw. Doublet of aywan. An alternate etymology from Panganiban (1972) posits it theoretically to be from iwi (taking care of a domestic animal in behalf of the owner) + -an.

Attested in the Doctrina Christiana as œvan, written in Baybayin as ᜁᜏ (iwa), most likely reflecting ewan or eywan. In the book, the œ character (possibly an æ character) was sometimes written in Baybayin as (a). Hence, the word can also reflect aywan.
