    "powdery remains of fire," Old English æsce "ash," from
Proto-Germanic *askon (cognates: Old Norse and Swedish aska, Old High
German asca, German asche, Gothic azgo "ashes"), from PIE root *ai- (2)
"to burn, glow" (cognates: Sanskrit asah "ashes, dust," Armenian azazem
"I dry up," Greek azein "to dry up, parch," Latin ardus "parched, dry").
Spanish and Portuguese ascua "red-hot coal" are Germanic loan-words.

    Symbol of grief or repentance; hence Ash Wednesday (c. 1300), from
custom introduced by Pope Gregory the Great of sprinkling ashes on the
heads of penitents on the first day of Lent. Ashes meaning "mortal
remains of a person" is late 13c., in reference to the ancient custom of
cremation.

tree" (cognates: Armenian haci "ash tree," Albanian ah "beech," Greek

spears").
