Etymology

[edit]

Since Pokorny, traditionally derived from a Proto-Indo-European *dʰH- (to disappear), and connected with affatim, fatīscō, fatīgō, fessus, as well as Old Irish ded- (to vanish), Old Norse dási (slow), and English daze. However, de Vaan rejects this etymology, considering the forms and semantics as too vague, and leaves the origin open.[1]

Pronunciation

[edit]

Noun
