In summary

From Middle High German ās (“carrion, bait”), from Old High German *ās, from Proto-Germanic *ēsą. Later merged with Middle High German āȥ (“food”), from Old High German āȥ, from Proto-West Germanic *āt, from Proto-Germanic *ētą. Both ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₁ed- (“to eat”).
