Its root in the classical dictionaries
العيث والعثي يتقاربان، نحو: جذب وجبذ، إلا أن العيث أكثر ما يقال في الفساد الذي يدرك حسا، والعثي فيما يدرك حكما. يقال: عثي يعثى عثيا ، وعلى هذا: ولا تعثوا في الأرض مفسدين
العين والثاء والحرف المعتل كلمة تدل على فساد. يقال عثا يعثو، ويقال عثي يعثي، مثل عاث. قال الله - تعالى: ﴿ولا تعثوا في الأرض مفسدين﴾ [البقرة: 60].
