köken: Inherited from Old Spanish ayuno, from a Vulgar Latin *aiūnus < *iaiūnus, jajūnus, from Latin iēiūnus, from Proto-Italic *jagjūnos, itself from Proto-Indo-European *Hyeh₂ǵ-yu-, adjectival form of *Hyeh₂ǵ-ye/o- (“to sacrifice”).
eş: a stomaco vuoto, affamato, senza cibo, vuoto, impreparato, ignaro
köken: From a Vulgar Latin derivative of Latin ieiūnium. The initial Latin ie- or je- may have changed to de- over time, leading to di- in Italian. Compare the similar Catalan dejuni. Alternatively digiuno may have been regressively derived from the verb digiunare, and was independent of this Latin word.
köken: Old Russian and pre-Reform постъ (post), as it were Proto-Slavic *postъ, a loan from Old High German fasta (“fast”) (8th century, a feminine noun from the root of Proto-Germanic *fastāną), presumably first in this sense in Gothic 𐍆𐌰𐍃𐍄𐌰𐌽 (fastan), gloss of νηστεία (nēsteía).

Compare Galician xaxún, xexún, French jeûne and Spanish ayuno. Doublet of the borrowed jejuno.
