Etim. means "etimology" (origin of the name or word).

Spoilers
HBP spoilers are preceded by a red asterix (*).
There is also a red asterix before all names of important things that first
appear in HBP.
I did not mark spoilers from the other books.
Search On!
Half the fun of Harry Potter books is finding the hidden meanings behind names.
For example, Hermes (Percy's owl) is named after the Greek messenger god.
Rowling got lots of ideas for her books from myths and legends, so you might want to try
Encylopedia Mythica.
