/ˈeɪˌjə/,

/ˈaɪˌ(j)ə/

Forms: 1800s ea, 1900s– aiah, 1900s– ay-a, 1900s– ay-ah, 1900s– ay-yuh, 1900s– a-yeh, 1900s– ayeh, 1900s– ayuh, 1900s– eyah.

Origin: Of uncertain origin. Perhaps (i) a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Perhaps (ii) formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: aye adv., yea adv.

Etymology: Origin uncertain. Perhaps either (i) an extended form of aye adv. (compare the reduplicated uses discussed at that entry, including aye, aye at aye adv. 1c), or (ii) < aye adv. + yea adv.; however, neither of these explanations accounts for the variation shown by the pronunciation of the initial element.
