Etymology 2

Borrowed from Ancient Greek ἄξοος (áxoos, “unwrought, unshorn”) from ξέω (xéō, “to shear”), confused with ἄξιος (áxios, “valuable, worthy”) and through a nasal excrescence with the Latin ānxius.

ānxius (feminine ānxia, neuter ānxium); first/second-declension adjective (hapax)

1. unshorn
   • c. 300, Epitaphium Alliae Potestatis, versus 22–23 – Philologus 73, p. 275

     anxia non mansit, sed corpore pulchra benigno

     She did not stay unshorn, but beautiful from a benign body
     she bore her light liths, hair to be sought on any spot.
