It's actually asszony, isn't it? It doesn't look like a loan from Slavic to me (why not simply zsena?), but I haven't got a Finno-Ugric etymological dictionary at hand and so can't tell you where the word comes from.

>> Slavic *z^ena > Polish z^ona (spelt  <z.ona>)

And so is the Hungarian aszony then a loan from Slavic?
