ἐλλύτας
διὸ δὴ πᾶς ἀνὴρ σπουδαῖος τῶν ὄντων σπουδαίων πέρι πολλοῦ δεῖ μὴ γράψας ποτὲ ἐν ἀνθρώποις εἰς φθόνον καὶ ἀπορίαν καταβαλεῖ → And this is the reason why every serious man in dealing with really serious subjects carefully avoids writing, lest thereby he may possibly cast them as a prey to the envy and stupidity of the public | Therefore every man of worth, when dealing with matters of worth, will be far from exposing them to ill feeling and misunderstanding among men by committing them to writing
Spanish (DGE)
ἐλλύτης v. εἰλύτας.
Frisk Etymological English
Grammatical information: m.
Meaning: name of something baked, kind of cake, Kringel, Brezel (Thera)
Other forms: ἐλλυτίς (for -της?) πλακοῦς τις H., εἰλύτας acc. pl. (Boeotia), ἐλύτης (gramm.)
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]
Etymology: Connected with εἰλύω (s. v.), either from the verbal stem (Ϝ)ελυ- or from the present-stem Ϝελνυ- or the perfect stem ϜεϜλυ-. Other attempts to accomodate the different forms by Solmsen Unt. 240. Also Bechtel Dial. 1, 304. The connection with εἰλύω may well be wrong; the interchange λ\/λλ rather points to a Pre-Greek word; so the word will have started with *ely-
