Etymology 1

[edit]

From Proto-Albanian *its, from Proto-Indo-European *eǵʰs (from, out of). Related to Lithuanian i̇̀š, Latvian iz and Old Prussian is. The change in meaning is a part of the wider sematic shift of prepositions (see nga); the old meaning is preserved in the prefix sh- (partially influenced by a homonymous prefix of Latin origin continuing Latin dis-).[1]
