adverb词源
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 specific association with the symptoms of tuberculosis (hectic fever) gave rise to the early 20th-cent. sense characterized by feverish activity.
