Word origin

The word 'ease' has its roots in Middle English, derived from the Old French term 'aise', which means comfort or peace. It ultimately originates from the Latin 'axilla', meaning 'wing' or 'shoulder', connoting the idea of lightness or alleviation from burden. The evolution of the term reflects a transition from a physical sense of lightness to a broader emotional and situational context. By the late 14th century, 'ease' began to be used in English not only to refer to physical comfort but also to feelings of tranquility and relief from stress or hardship. The past tense 'eased' emerged as the verb form developed, signifying the completion of that action—providing comfort or reducing difficulty.
