Etymology

[edit]

From the root of δάκνω (dáknō, to bite), from Proto-Indo-European *denḱ-. However, according to Beekes, in view of the semantic connection with other words such as ὀδακτάζω (odaktázō, to bite, gnaw), ἀδακτῶ (adaktô, to itch), ἀδαχεῖ (adakheî, it itches) which display a variation in initial vowel and stem-final consonant, and because of the limited semantic field, it is more likely to be Pre-Greek in origin.
