Noun

Etymology 2

Uncertain. Perhaps from δᾰ́ῐ̈ς (dắĭ̈s, “battle”), which Beekes claims is of Pre-Greek origin.^[1] However, the linguist Peter Barber alternatively suggests a derivation from Proto-Indo-European *deh₂w-i(H)os, itself from the root *deh₂w- (“to burn”), whence also Ancient Greek δαίω (daíō).^[2]

Alternative forms

δήῐ̈ος (dḗĭ̈os), δῆος (dêos) — Epic, Ionic
δᾷος (dāîos) — Doric
δᾱ́ϝιος (dā́wios) — Laconian
