Etymology
Ετήσιος comes from Ancient Greek ἐτήσιος, built on ἔτος, meaning year. The suffix turns the noun into an adjective meaning of or belonging to a year. The underlying word for year goes back to a Proto-Indo-European root for year or age, and it shows up across several old languages with related shifts in meaning.
