as (not comparable)
as
as
In traditional standard English as (like than) is a conjunction, not a preposition. The use of pronominal case forms (subject vs. object) therefore depends on the syntactical context. Compare:
In modern everyday English, this difference may be lost and the use of bare subject forms (I, he, she, we, they) after as may seem pedantic. Only the object forms are used on their own.
Borrowed from Latin as. Doublet of ace.

Probably borrowed from Etruscan: compare lībra and nummus, also loanwords. Original meaning was 'a rectangular bronze plaque weighing a pound'.
as m (genitive assis); third declension
It is especially significant as being the coin of least value in the Classical age; as such it was often used in poetry as representative of the idea of worthlessness—one example being in Vivamus atque amemus, where Catullus mentions "valuing opinions of old men at a single as". Two and a half asses equalled a single sesterce.
Third-declension noun (i-stem).
From Old Irish ocus (“and", originally "proximity”), from Proto-Celtic *adgostus (“near”).
as
Reduction of alswo, alswa, also, from Old English eallswā. The reduced form is more common in this sense from c. 1200.

From Ottoman Turkish آس (as), from Proto-Turkic *argun, *āŕ.
as (definite accusative ası, plural aslar)
Borrowed from French as. Note that in Ottoman Turkish until its end – though it be that playing cards had been introduced in Turkey by Europeans and French in particular – the card was called بك (bey). Apparently this usage switch is a function of the Law on the Abolishment of Nicknames and Titles from the 26th of November 1934 (Lâkap ve Unvanların Kaldırılması Hakkındaki Kanun).
