Origin: IE [Indo-European] [292} *h₁eǵhs `out'; or *h₁eḱs

Etymology: Exact agreements ἐξ in Italic and Celtic, e. g. Lat. ex (ē, ec-), Welsh ex-, OIr. ess-; then in Baltic and Slavic forms with unclear i-, e. g. Lith. ìš, ìž, OCS is, iz; doubtful Arm. i, y- `out, from' (beside i, y- `in'). - Because of ἔσχατος, ἐχθός (= ἐκτός) a. o. one posits after Wackernagel KZ 33, 38ff. (= Kl. Schr. 1, 717ff.) as IE form not *eḱs, but *eǵhs (*eǵzh); an assumption, which is unnecessary for ἐκτός (s. v.), but for ἔσχατος seems unavoidable (s. s. v.)
