Etymology

Uncertain. Ultimately from the root Proto-Indo-European *delh₁-. Perhaps from Proto-Italic *dēlaō, from Proto-Indo-European *délh₁-yeti. Alternatively, perhaps from Proto-Italic *dolaō, Proto-Indo-European *dl̥h₁-yé-ti. It has also been interpreted as a denominative to an otherwise unattested o-grade noun from the same root.
