[Ads-l] Request for help with new OED format

[Cohen, Gerald Leonard]

Hi all,

Would someone out there be able to help me with one very specific
thing I'm trying to do with the new OED format.

I am trying to find out how to access the etymology
of a term, and as a sample term I have chosen the word shyster (which I once
researched).
So, I typed in SHYSTER.
Then I clicked ADVANCED SEARCH
Then I clicked ETYMOLOGY

But instead of getting the etymology of the word, I get two related
terms (1926 shysterism;  1860 shystering).

If instead I just click on the term shyster and then click on ETYMOLOGY, I get
questions about wanting a personal or institutional subscription, but I
have accessed the new OED through my institution.

 This is frustrating.  What am I doing wrong?
Any guidance would be much appreciated.
(Btw, listening to the OED instructions did not help)
