Etymology

From the root ء س س (ʾ-s-s). The Arabic root is weakly developed; thus is concluded that all other words in it are denominal from this noun and this noun is, similarly to other architectural terms, borrowed from Aramaic אוּשָּׁא (ʾūšā, foundation), from Akkadian 𒀳 (/uššu/, foundation).

Noun

أُسّ or أَسّ (ʾuss or ʾass) m (plural إِسَاس (ʾisās) or آسَاس (ʾāsās))

  1. foundation, groundwork, basis
  2. (mathematics) power, exponent
