δράω

Ancient Greek

Etymology

Uncertain. Beekes mentions a connection with Lithuanian darýti (“to make, do”). Though the Lithuanian is a strong semantic match, it is generally thought to be from Proto-Indo-European *dʰer- (“to hold”) and thus related to Sanskrit धर्म (dharma, “dharma, morality”), phonetically precluding a relation with the Greek.[1]
