köken: From Middle High German etewaʒ, from Old High German eddeshwaz, from edde- + hwaz. The first element is of obscure origin, but possibly related to Proto-Germanic *ehþau (“otherwise, or, but if”), source of modern oder (“or”). Compare Icelandic eitthvað, Dutch ietwat.
köken: Univerbation of an unattested Byzantine Greek *κάν πως (*kán pōs). The *κάν (*kán) is identical to καν (kan, “even”), and the πως (pōs) is identical to πως (pos) and used in the sense of the Ancient Greek phrase ἐάν πως (eán pōs).

köken: From Middle Welsh breið. The Dictionary of the Welsh Language connects it with Breton bre (“pain, trouble”). Morris Jones, on the other hand, associates it with Ancient Greek βραδύς (bradús, “slow, slow-witted”) and Latin gurdus (“dimwit, numbskull”) (compare also Lithuanian gurdùs (“slow”) and Old Church Slavonic гръдъ (grŭdŭ, “proud”)).
