Etymology

[edit]

From a syncopic form of ayawan, from Proto-Central-Philippine *áyaw (“to leave (behind)”) + -an, with semantic shift originally meaning “it leaves (me)” according to Zorc (1983). Blust & Trussel also posit Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *away, with metathesis (c.f. Pangasinan awey). See also ayaw. Doublet of iwan.
