Origin

Late Middle English etik, via Old French from late Latin hecticus, from Greek hektikos 'habitual', from hexis 'habit, state of mind or body'. The original association with the symptoms of tuberculosis (hectic fever) gave rise to sense 1 in the early 20th century.

This came via late Latin from Greek hektikos ‘habitual’. The original sense was ‘symptomatic of one's physical condition’ associated specifically with the symptoms of tuberculosis (known as hectic fever); this led in the early 20th century to the sense ‘characterized by feverish activity’.
