Etymology
From *ailą + *-(i)janą, literally ‘to make a fire, set aflame’ (Kroonen 2013: 11; Ringe 2017: 199–200). The base *ailą continues pre-Germanic *aidlą < Proto-Indo-European *h₂oydh-tló-m, an o-grade *-tlo- formation from *h₂eydʰ-. Cognate at the root level with Vedic Sanskrit इन्धे (indhé) and एध (édha), Ancient Greek αἴθω (aíthō) and αἶθος (aîthos), Old Irish áed, and Latin aedis/aedēs. (Beekes 2010: 37; Kroonen 2013: 11; Mallory & Adams 1997: 87; Rix et al. 2001: 259). Also related to *ailidaz and *aidaz.
