    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'?).

Вы не знаете, что это такое, - словом, политические провокации будут на каждом шагу. Мы вас же хотим уберечь от всего этого». Это было всё равно что толочь воду в ступе. Мы говорили о разном и с разных точек зрения (Аллилуева 2). "We shall not let you go abroad!" he (Suslov) said....There'll be provocations." "What provocations? What have provocations got to do with this?"..."You'll be instantly surrounded by newsmen. You don't know what it's like. In short, there will be political provocations at every step. We want to save you from it." It was like beating the air. We spoke of different things from different points of view (2a).

His thoughts burned so fiercely that...he no longer even felt how his swollen legs were bursting open the tops of his boots....We were merciless towards the enemies of the Revolution. Why has the Revolution been so merciless towards us? Perhaps for that very reason. Or maybe it hasn't got anything to do with the Revolution. What's this captain (from the security organs) got to do with the Revolution? He's just a thug, a member of the Black Hundreds. There he had been, just milling the wind, while time had been passing (2a).
