2 ἐτός 1
ἐτός 1.Grammatical information: adv.Meaning: only with negation οὑκ ἐτός `not in vain' (Att.); beside it ἐτώσιος adj. `useless, fruitless' (Il.).Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: Though its formation is unclear (cf. Chantraine Formation 42, Schwyzer 466, Mezger Word 2, 229) ἐτώσιος for *Ϝετώσιος (rejected by Fay Class. Quart. 3, 273) is prob. an adjectivising enlargement of ἐτός (cf. περιώσιος beside περί), which stands for *Ϝετός and formally belongs to the adverbs in - τός ( ἐν-τός etc.). Further unclear; semantically near is Alb. hut `useless, empty, idle' \< IE * uto- (Jokl WienAkSb. 168: 1,31); Meillet MSL 8, 235f. and Brugmann Grundr.2 2: 2, 809 further adduce αὔτως as `idle, useless' (cf. s. αὑτός). After Ebel KZ 5, 69 (thus Prellwitz and Bartholomae WB.) however identical with Skt. svatáḥ, Av. xvatō `of itself' (IE *su̯e-tós), which seems possible in spite of the difference in meaning (`of itself' \> `withou outside cause'?).Page in Frisk: 1,582-583Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ἐτός 1
