Etymology
If related to Welsh diod (“drink”), from Proto-Celtic *dī-āti-s, from Proto-Indo-European *dʰeh₁(y)- (“to suck”).
Alternatively, from *deǵʰ- (“liquid?”), hence Lithuanian dažyti (“to paint, dye”).[1][2]. Kloekhorst suggests that *deǵʰ- is the source of *dǵʰuH- (hence Ancient Greek ἰχθῡ́ς (ikhthū́s), Old Armenian ձուկն (jukn, “fish”), Lithuanian žuvis), rather than Proto-Indo-European *dʰǵʰu- (with *dʰ-). Since *dK- regularly yielded *iKt- in Greek (compare ἰκτῖνος (iktînos), ἑκατόν (hekatón)), this word-root should be reconstructed as containing Proto-Indo-European *d- as opposed to *dʰ-.[3]
