### Etymology

Shortening of dialectal dēt (South Gheg), from archaic Arbëreshë dejt, dejët, from Proto-Albanian *deubeta, from pre-Albanian *dʰéubʰetos, enlargement of Proto-Indo-European *dʰewbʰos (“deep”), from *dʰewbʰ- (compare English deep, Lithuanian dubùs). Hyllested proposes a loanword from Greek δέλτα.
Alternatively reconstructed as from dejët < deët < *débeti- < *dábeti- < *dáu̯bati- "depth" or *débita- < Pre-Proto-Albanian *dábita < *dáu̯beta- "deep" < PIE *dʰeu̯bʰeto- "sea".
