Etimoloji
Reflects Proto-Indo-European *h₂énti-h₃kʷ-o-s (literally “facing the front”), from the same roots whence ante (“in front of”) and oculus (“eye”). Compare Sanskrit अन्तिक (antiká, “near, in the vicinity; nearness, proximity”) and Proto-Nuristani *ãtika, which are however derived from *h₂enti-kó-s, with diminutive suffix. Adjective sense 5 could be a calque of Ancient Greek πρέσβυς (présbus).
