Proto-Slavic

Etymology

From earlier Proto-Balto-Slavic *aśmas, from Proto-Indo-European oḱ(tṓwos) (rendered as *h₃eḱth̥₃-wos in Derksen 2008) + a suffix *-mos extracted from *septmós (“seventh”).[1] Compare Sanskrit अष्टम (aṣṭama, “eighth”), Avestan 𐬀𐬯𐬙𐬆𐬨𐬀‎ (astəma, “eighth”), where the same process operated. Cognate with obsolete Lithuanian ãšmas (“eighth”), Old Prussian asmus (“eighth”) and partly with Latin octāvus (“eighth”) and Ancient Greek ὄγδοος (ógdoos, “eighth”).
