Etymology

Borrowed from Aramaic אָסְיָא / ܐܵܣܝܵܐ (ʾāsyā, “physician, healer”), from Akkadian 𒀀𒍪 (A.ZU /⁠asû⁠/, “physician, healer”), from Sumerian 𒀀𒍪 (A.ZU /⁠azu⁠/, “physician, healer”). This term has merged with the native root ء س و (ʔ s w) having originally the meanings “to grieve”, “to hurt”, and developed additional forms, this noun being reinterpreted as an active participle of the form I verb, the same happening in Aramaic. It has also engendered additional forms in Aramaic, Hebrew, Ethiopian Semitic.
