Origin: IE [Indo-European] [347] * h₁eus- `burn'

Etymology: Old verb, pushed out by καίω, which like other verbs with ευ-diphthong (s. γεύομαι) lost ablaut. εὕω is identical with Lat. ūrō `burn', Skt. óṣati `id.'; so with aspiration metathesis for *εὔhω \< IE *éus-ō (cf. Schwyzer 219). The - σ- returns in εὑσ-τόν (with secondary full grade against Skt. uṣ-tá- = Lat. us-tus `burned') and in εὕσ-τρα (with analogical aspiration; on τρᾱ- cf. Schwyzer 532, Chantraine Formation 333), and was from there introduced in εὔσ-ανα (Stang Symb. Oslo. 2, 66). Also elsewhere (e. g. the zero grade German. l-deriv. in OWNo. usli m., MHG. usel(e) f. `glowing ashes'). S. Bq, Pok. 347f., W.-Hofmann s. ūrō.
