Unknown. Various theories have been put forward:
The suffix -ēnsis is added to a toponym (especially the name of a town) or to a topographical name, in order to form an adjective.
Third-declension two-termination adjective.

Perhaps from Proto-Italic *ensis (“sword”), perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *h₁ensi- (“sword, large knife”) However, according to De Vaan, all alleged Indo-European cognates are uncertain: Ancient Greek ἄορ (áor, “(hanger for a) sword”), Sanskrit असि (así, “sword”), Palaic 𒄩𒅆𒄿𒊏 (ḫa-ši-i-ra /hasīra/, “dagger”). Regardless, the EIEC—which reconstructs the PIE form as *h2/3ṇsis—still argues that the form likely date back to Proto-Indo-European.
