Where this word comes from
Probably from Late Latin ac sīc, or less likely *eccum sīc, in either case with paragogic /-a/ added as with some other adverbs (compare atâta < atât), the variant ași thus being the original form. Closely parallel to Aromanian ashi, Portuguese assim, Old Sicilian assì and Spanish así. Compare also Catalan així, French ainsi, Italian così. First attested in c. 1500–1560.
