Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]

Etymology: If one assumes for δάπ-τω a root δαπ-, this is found in Lat. daps `(sacrifice)meal', also in Toch. pret. tāp- `eat' (Fraenkel IF 50, 7); the ν-suffix in δαπάνη has been compared with Lat. damnum `expenditure, loss' and ONo. tafn `sacrificial animal, meal', which could be IE * dap-no-m, as also Arm. tawn `feast' (\< * dap-ni-). One might include Skt. dāpayati `divide'. - In spite of the relatives, δαπ(τ)-\/ δαψ- rather seems Pre-Greek. - Lat. dapinō is LW [loanword] from δαπανάω.
