Etymology

From Proto-Italic *doleō (“to hurt, cause pain”), from Proto-Indo-European *dolh₁éyeti (“to divide”), from *delh₁- (“to cut”). The sense development is thus assumed to be that "divide" came to mean "divide someone into pieces, hurt". Compare dolō (“hew, fashion, devise”).
Compare typologically Russian ломота́ (lomotá) (< ломи́ть (lomítʹ)). Also compare the terms with the opposite meaning English heal, health (akin to whole), Russian цели́ть (celítʹ), исцеля́ть (isceljátʹ) (akin to це́лый (célyj)).
Also compare expressions like: fragile health, хрупкое (xrupkoje) здоро́вье (zdoróvʹje); splitting headache, голова́ (golová) раска́лывается (raskályvajetsja).
For the 'to be sorry, to grieve for' meaning, compare typologically сокруша́ться (sokrušátʹsja) (akin to круши́ть (krušítʹ)). See also Latin condoleō.
