Frisk Etymological English

Grammatical information: v.
Meaning: make light of (Il.). Orig. always with negation.
Origin: XX [etym. unknown]
Etymology: Unknown. The glosses ἀθερές ἀνόητον, ἀνόσιον, ἀκριβές H. and ἀθερής· ὁ σίδηρος ἀτειρης ὅταν θερίζῃ etc. H. seem unrelated. An old proposal is to derive it from *ἄθερος, Skt. ádhara- (be)low; s. Bechtel Lex. Another proposal is to derive it from ἀθήρ, as flocci facio. Both not very convincing.

Middle Liddell

to slight, make light of, Lat. nihil curare, c. acc. pers., Hom. [deriv. uncertain].]
