## Persian
### Etymology

From Middle Persian dyk' (dēg, “cauldron”), from Proto-Iranian *dai(a)-ka-, from Proto-Iranian *daiH- (“to shine, radiate, light a fire”), with possible semantic contamination from Proto-Iranian *daĵ- (“to burn”). The former is from Proto-Indo-European *deyh₂- (“to shine, be bright”) and cognate with Semnani دیک (dik, “pot”), Sanskrit दीप् (dīp, “to blaze, illuminate”), Ancient Greek δέατο (déato, “shone”), and Old Norse teitr (“cheerful”), while the latter is from Proto-Indo-European *dʰegʷʰ- (“to burn”).
An alternative theory derives the word from Proto-Indo-European *dʰeyǵʰ- (“to form, shape”).
