Etymology
From Proto-Iranian *dwitiya (“second”), built on Proto-Iranian *dwi (“double”), itself derived from Proto-Indo-European *dwi- (“double”). Compare Sanskrit द्वितीय (dvitī́ya, “second, second part”), Persian دیگر (“other one of two”) from Proto-Iranian *dwitī́yakarah, Zoroastrian Dari به (be, “otherwise, other”, discourse particle), with a *-ti- abstract suffix and a *-ya- adjectival suffix.
