Etymology
In summary
Inherited from Middle French aise, from Old French aise, eise, probably derived from the nominative form of Latin adiacēns, present participle of adiaceō (compare Medieval Latin in aiace). If so, then cognate with Old Occitan aize; compare also Catalan eina, Italian agio, a borrowing from Occitan, doublet of adjacent, a learned borrowing. Compare also Frankish *ansiju (“loop, handle, arms akimbo, elbow room”).
