Etymology 2
editTraditionally explained as a derivation from αἴθω (aíthō, “to glow”) but this is a folk etymology. The word is more likely from Pre-Greek (albeit with semantic reinforcement from the folk etymology), due to the likely-related αἴδῶσσα (aídôssa, “the walls of a court of hall”) demonstrating significant consonantal variation, as well as the variant αἴθουσσα (aíthoussa) showing σ/σσ variation.[1]
