Etymology

From Proto-Indo-Aryan *dáms-patiṣ, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *dáms-patiš, from Proto-Indo-European *déms pótis (“master of the house”), from *dṓm (“house”) (whence दम (dáma, “house, home”)) + *pótis (“master”) (whence पति (páti, “lord, master; husband”)). Cognate with Ancient Greek δεσπότης (despótēs, “lord, master”), whence English despot.
