'aetites' originates from Greek, specifically the word 'aetites,' where 'aetos' meant 'eagle.'

'aetites' was used in medieval Latin as 'aetites,' and eventually became the modern English word 'aetites.'

Initially, it meant 'a stone found in eagle's nests,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a type of stone believed to have magical properties.'
