Etymology
From Proto-Indo-European *h₂ent-is, an adverbial comparative built to *h₂ent- with *-is, the zero-grade of the inherited comparative/elative suffix *-yos- ~ *-is- (Kroonen 2013: 27; Meier-Brügger 2003: 219–22). Proto-Germanic comparative adverbs regularly ended in uninflected *-iz¹ or *-ōz, the corresponding comparative suffixes without the n-stem extension of adjectival comparatives; compare Latin magis, which preserves the inherited adverbial use of *-is (Ringe 2017: 316, 327).
