I wonder what the etymology of 大した is.
I would have thought it is 大す or 大する based on how it behaves syntactically (as a 連体詞), but I can't find any traces of those existing

Martin writes only: "大した 'immense, important, serious, very', cf. adverb 大して―these being the only forms of what would appear to be a defective durative stative verb(al noun) *大する 'looms large'"

My dictionaries don't list an etymology for 大した

It seems to be surprisingly recent

The earliest citation in 日本国語大辞典 is 1885

Maybe someone just started saying one or the other and it caught on, and the other developed by analogy
