Etymology

Inherited from Proto-Slavic *àsenь, *àsenъ, with the Old Polish dialectal change ja- → je-. Although today this change is confined to northern Masovia, the form jesion dominates everywhere, except in most of Lesser Poland, and is, along with its derivatives, the only word with this change that has made its way to the literary language.
