Etymology 2
Etymology tree
Proto-Indo-European *dʰewH-?
▲
Sanskrit धाव्
Mayrhofer separates this sense from the "run" sense (though admits likely semantic conflation by Indo-Iranian speakers as the languages developed) and tentatively prefers the connection with धू॒नोति॑ (dhūnóti, “shakes”) (as washing often requires shaking motions), from Proto-Indo-European *dʰewH- (“to shake, move violently”), as mentioned in older literature. If so, then compare Old Norse dýja (“to shake”).[1][2]
