Origin: GR [a formation built with Greek elements]

Etymology: δοκέω (and προσδοκάω) are deverbative derivations of primary ( προσ-) δέκομαι (s. δέχομαι). Like alle secondary verbs originally only present stems, for the other tempora the primary verb was used. Such a system is δόξαι, δόξω, if with - ο- after δοκέω for *δέξαι, *δέξω (Wackernagel KZ 33, 37; further Schwyzer 718). - Lengthened δοκεύω (s. above) and δοκάζω `await' (Sophr., S. Fr. 221, 23) because of their meaning better to - δοκάω, δέκομαι than to δοκέω. - The semantic relations are difficult in detail. To δοκέω agrees Lat. doceō `learn' (causative). On δοκέω in general s. Fournier Les verbes "dire" passim, esp. 166f. - Further relatives s. δέχομαι and δοκός.
