Etymology
Etymology tree
Proto-Indo-European *der-
Sanskrit दॄ (dṝ)
Inherited from Proto-Indo-Aryan *dar-, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *dar-, from Proto-Indo-European *der- (“to split, to tear, to crack”). Cognate with English tear, Ancient Greek δέρω (dérō), Macedonian дере (dere), Persian دریدن (daridan, “to tear”). The "heed" meaning is probably a semantic specialization of the original "tear" meaning.
