[Mesorah] oni - ev'yon

[R Davidovich via Mesorah]

Well, let's start with Rashi (15:4):

אביון: דל מעני, ולשון אביון שהוא תאב לכל דבר:

needy: Heb. אֶבְיוֹן, [denoting someone who is] poorer than an ע ָנִי. The
term אֶבְיוֹן means“to yearn for” (תָּאֵב) , i.e., one who yearns for
everything [because he has nothing]. — [Vayikra Rabbah 34:6, see B.M. 111b]
