Etymology

Inherited from Proto-Slavic *ešče (“still, yet”), which perhaps may be originally inherited from Proto-Slavic *etšče from *ets-če, where *ets- (*et-s-) is extension of Proto-Indo-European *et- (compare Proto-Indo-Iranian *áti, Ancient Greek ἔτι (éti), Latin et, Gothic 𐌹𐌸 (iþ) etc.) and *-če which is reflex of Proto-Indo-European *ku̯e (compare Avestan ča, Ancient Greek τε (te), Latin -que etc.). First attested in the 16th century.[1]
