Forms: 1800s– aetherous, 1800s– etherous.

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: ether n., -ous suffix.

Etymology: < ether n. + -ous suffix.Slightly earlier instances of the form etherous in editions of Milton's Paradise Lost (e.g. Larkin ed. (Springfield, Massachusetts, 1794) and Wills ed. (London, 1800)) apparently show a misprint for ethereous adj. (compare quot. 1667 at ethereous adj.). This reading is subsequently found in a number of editions in the first half of the 19th cent.
