adjja-stemempty, void, deserted, desolate; barren, wasteFrom Proto-Indo-European *h₂ew-tyo-s, a relational adjective in *-tyo- formed from the local adverb *h₂ew, specifically its sense ‘away, off’; the semantic development was ‘away, removed’ → ‘deserted, empty’. The formation was earlier reconstructed as *au-ti-o-, from an adverbial au-ti, by Mezger 1946: 229; compare the inherited PIE type of relational adjectives in *-ti̯o- derived from local adverbs Fellner 2014: 52–53Heidermanns 1993: 111. Dunkel 2014: 96–105 instead separates a root *aw without a laryngeal from *h₂u, so *aw-tyo-s is an alternative analysis of the preform. Cognate with Ancient Greek αὔσιος. The comparison with Greek and its derivation from PIE *au- goes back at least to Schulze 1907: 414 n. 1. Latin ōtium may likewise continue Proto-Italic *autiom, but this etymology remains disputed de Vaan 2008: s.v. ōtium, 437Zavaroni 2024: 307–326.
