Origin: IE [Indo-European] [183] * d(e)h₁- `bind'

Etymology: Directly agree δετός ( διά-δετος A., δετός Opp.) and Skt. ditá- `bound' as well as δῆμα ( ὑπό-δημα etc.; s. above) and Skt. dā́man- `band'. Of the presents δίδημι (Λ 105) is prob. an innovation to δήσω, δῆσαι etc. after θήσω: τίθημι. The ε-vowel in δέω, δέσις, δετός etc. like that in τί-θε-μεν, θέσις etc. must be the zero grade dh₁- beside dē- in δήσω etc.; (the Skt. pres. - dyati (ā́-dyati) `bind' from *dh₁-i̯e-ti.).
