/ˈdu.e/

Etymology

From Latin duae ~ duas, feminine plural of duo, from Proto-Italic *duō, from Proto-Indo-European *dwóh₁. Attempts at gender distinction are still found in Old Italian, but the different forms soon became interchangeable variants. The victory of due may be due to its being the phonetically intermediate form.
