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 legomenon)

  1. unshorn

      anxia non mansit, sed corpore pulchra benigno
      levia membra tulit: pilus illi quaesitus ubique.
