ἐλλύτας
Κινδυνεύουσι γὰρ ὅσοι τυγχάνουσιν ὀρθῶς ἁπτόμενοι φιλοσοφίας λεληθέναι τοὺς ἄλλους ὅτι οὐδὲν ἄλλο αὐτοὶ ἐπιτηδεύουσιν ἢ ἀποθνῄσκειν τε καὶ τεθνάναι → Actually, the rest of us probably haven't realized that those who manage to pursue philosophy as it should be pursued are practicing nothing else but dying and being dead (Socrates via Plato, Phaedo 64a.5)
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-
