Etymology

edit

From *h₁é. (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?) De Vaan proposes an old locative singular of *h₁et-,[2][3] reflected in Sanskrit अत् (at, to go), as he explains “Originally used to add something to a previous utterance, or to indicate the sequence of different actions”. Beekes and Derksen give the same etymology provided by De Vaan.[4][5] Ringe, however, reconstructs it as *éti.[6]
