Where this word comes from

Perhaps either: * related to inquilīnus (see also Esquilīnus), from *eks + *kʷe/ilō (Latin colō) + *-jā, with cluster simplification /eksk/ → /esk/ as seen in escendō; according to the legend the district was later added to Rome by the king Servius Tullius (Liv.I.44) to cope with the evergrowing flow of new Roman subjects; it would then mean: "the district of sojourners (or dwellers), once foreigners, living outside the city (pre-Servian Wall)". Or, * from aesculus (“a kind of oak”), compare Viminālis mōns (literally “willow, osier hill”).
