Proto-Celtic[edit]
Etymology[edit]
LEIA (apud Zair) connects this with Latin dīrus (“dire”),[1] but the commonly accepted etymology of that Latin word (from Proto-Indo-European *dwey- (“to fear”)) precludes such a connection.
Matasović reconstructs Proto-Indo-European *dʰeh₁-ro-s, deriving it from *dʰeh₁- (“to do, put, establish”).[2]
Adjective[edit]
*dīros
