### Etymology

Since Pokorny, traditionally derived from a Proto-Indo-European *dʰH- (“to disappear”), and connected with Latin affatim, fatīscō, fatīgō, fessus, as well as Old Irish ded- (“to vanish”), Old Norse dási (“slow”), and English daze. However, de Vaan rejects this etymology, considering the forms and semantics as too vague, and leaves the origin open.
