Etymology
The Modern Greek word 'έτοιμος' meaning 'ready' derives from Ancient Greek 'ἑτοῖμος' (hetoîmos), which also means 'ready' or 'prepared'. This word is thought to have originated from a Proto-Hellenic form, but its ultimate origin is uncertain and does not have a clearly attested Proto-Indo-European root.
