nounmasculinea-stemlong time, age, eternitylawIn the temporal sense, from Proto-Indo-European thematic *h₂ey-w-o-s, created by remodeling the older ablauting *h₂óyu ~ *h₂yéw-, ultimately from root *h₂ey-. Cognates include Sanskrit आयुः, Old Avestan 𐬁𐬌𐬌𐬎, Latin aevus/aevum, and Ancient Greek αἰών, the latter enlarged with *-on-Beekes 2010: 46–47de Vaan 2008: s.v. aevus/aevumKroonen 2013: 16Watkins 2011: s.v. aiw-.The meaning ‘law, right, established custom’ is confined principally to West Germanic. Kroonen 2013: 16 compares Latin iūs , iūris, from PIE *h₂yew-es-, and regards the etymology as identical with the temporal noun, perhaps through the notion of ‘something enduring, traditionally established, or permanently valid’.
