Etymology 1
Uncertain. Beekes suggests that the term may be compared with διαίνω (diaínō) and δύω (dúō).[1] The linguist Daniel Kölligan suggests that the term may derive from Proto-Indo-European *déwH-ye-ti, which may be compared to Old Armenian եներկ (enerk), the aorist of ներկանեմ (nerkanem). However, the Armenian term is probably unrelated.[2]
