δαίω

Ancient Greek

Pronunciation

 

Etymology 1

    From Proto-Hellenic *dáyyō; ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *deh₂w-. The linguist Douglas Adams suggests that the term derives from Proto-Indo-European *dh₂u-yé-ti.[1] However, it may also be derived from Proto-Indo-European *déh₂u-ye-ti.[2] Cognates include Proto-Celtic *dauyeti, Tocharian A twās; perhaps related to Latin duellum, bellum (“war”). Perhaps etymologically related to dagger and Sanskrit दुनोति (dunoti).
