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.[1]
