Etymology

Unclear: denominal/deverbal, *ot-/*ob-, *(s)ḱeh₁y-/*(s)ḱeh₃-.

*ob-/*ot-:

Per Miklosich, Дуриданов, Лома: from *otsojь with *ot-. Compare 13th century Old Serbian на Ѡтсоиноу стѣноу[1] and antonymous Church Slavonic присоѥ (prisoje, “sunny place”)[2].
Per ESSJa: from *obsojь with "shadow" ⇐ "shine" / "reflection" (отблеск). Compare Sanskrit छाया (chāyā, “shadow; shade; reflection”) ("shadow" ⇒ "reflection" if from *(s)ḱeh₃- (“darkness, shadow”)).
- Proto-Slavic *ob (“around”) would mean one around which light passes, devoid of light. Similar to Proto-Slavic *ostrovъ (“island”) from Proto-Slavic *strujiti (“to stream”).
Per Bezlaj: from *obsojь with abessive *ob-. Compare *h₂epó (“off, away”) / *h₂pó > *opakъ, *po.
Per Skok: from assimilated *usojь, from negative *u-. Compare *ubogъ.
