Proto-Germanic

Etymology

From Proto-Indo-European *dʰ(h₁)-oy-lo- (“part, watershed”) (alternatively reconstructed as *dʰayl-), itself tentatively derived from *dʰeh₁- (“to put, do”), though this is highly uncertain due to lack of morphological parallels in other Indo-European languages. Cognate with *dailą, *dailǭ; outside of Germanic, cognate with Proto-Balto-Slavic *dail- (whence Lithuanian dalýti (“to divide”)), Proto-Slavic *dělъ (Old Church Slavonic дѣлити (děliti), Russian дели́ть (delítʹ)).[1]
