From *aineh, related to Karelian aineh and Estonian aine (loan from Finnish), probably borrowed from Proto-Norse [Term?], from Proto-Germanic *afniz (compare Swedish ämne (“matter, subject”)). The correspondence of Germanic *f with Finnish i may seem exceptional,^[1] but has a parallel in eine. The sense "essay" was coined by Finnish folklorist and linguist Daniel Europaeus in 1853 (as ainekirjoitus).
