Choeroboscus, De spiritibus (excerpta), p. 197 (Τὸ Ε πρὸ τοῦ Τ ψιλοῦται. ἔτος. Ἐτεὸν, τὸ ἀληθές. ἔτυμον, καὶ ἐτήτυμον, τὸ αὐτό [probable implicit etymology]); Etym. Gudianum, epsilon, p. 549 (Ἔτυμος· τὸ τυ ψιλόν, καὶ σημαίνει τὸν ἀληθῆ, καὶ γίνεται παρὰ τὸ ἐτεόν, τὸ ἀληθές. ἐξ οὗ καὶ ἐτυμολογία, ἡ ἀληθολογία)
Modern etymology
Ἐτεός and ἐτός are related and belong with ἔτυμος and ἐτάζω. Ἐτεός probably goes back to *set-u-, matching Arm. stoyg "real" (Beekes, EDG)
Persistence in Modern Greek
MG has έτυμο as a learned technical word meaning "etymon"

Comment
Correct derivational etymology, as ἔτυμος is derived from an u-stem underlying ἐτεϝός. Semantically straightforward, since the lemma and the etymon are synonymous. The usual etymology in antiquity, however, derives ἔτυμος from ἐτός, itself the etymon of ἐτεός
