δαδύσσομαι

Ancient Greek

Alternative forms

δαιδῠ́σσομαι (daidússomai)

Etymology

The entry by Beekes in his Etymological Dictionary of Greek reads (in paraphrase):

"Since Roscher-Osthoff, the word has been connected with Latin dūcō (“to lead, guide, conduct”) and Proto-Germanic *tugōną (“to pull, tow”), suggesting a derivation from Proto-Indo-European *dewk- (“to pull, lead”), through an intensive reduplication *δαι-δυκ-ιο-. However, different from that tradition, DELG notes that the word has no etymology. Indeed, if δα- is not a late notation for δαι-, the variation may point to Pre-Greek origin."
