First part of the word is the prefix a- (a-), from Greek α- (a-, a-, an-, in-, un-, -less), from Ancient Greek ἀ- (a-, not, without), from Proto-Hellenic *ə- (un-, not; without, lacking), from Proto-Indo-European *n̥- (not, un-). Last part from Ancient Greek βάσις (básis, step, foot, base. rhythm), from Proto-Hellenic *gʷə́tis (step), from Proto-Indo-European *gʷémtis (step, act of walking), from *gʷem- (to step, go, stand), perhaps from *gʷeh₂- (to step, go, stand) + *-tis (derives abstract/action nouns from verb roots).
