Editing Æsir (section)

===Derived terms===
{{lang|non|Áss}} is further found in Old Norse compound nouns such as {{lang|non|[[Asbrú]]}} ("Æsir's bridge"), {{lang|non|[[Ásgarð]]}} ("home" or "enclosure of the Æsir"), {{lang|non|ásmegin}} ("strength of the Æsir") and the [[names for Thor]] {{lang|non|Asa-Þórr}} ("Æsir-Thor") and {{lang|non|Asabragr}} ("Æsir-lord").{{sfn|Simek|2008|p=19}}{{sfn|Lindow|2002}}{{sfn|Motz|1984|pp=190-191}} The only modern word that is derived from terms for {{lang|non|æsir}}, other than [[learned borrowing]]s from medieval languages is {{langx|sv|åska}}, meaning "thunderstorm", which is derived from earlier {{lang|sv|åsekja}} ("the driving of the áss"), which would derive from the reconstructed [[Old East Norse]]:{{lang|non|*ās-ækia}}. This is likely in reference to the belief in thunderstorms originating from Thor's riding across the skies.{{sfn|Motz|1984|pp=190-191}}{{sfn|Hellquist|1922}}
