Etymology

From the root of δάκνω (dáknō, “to bite”), from Proto-Indo-European *denḱ-. However, according to Beekes, in view of the semantic connection with other words such as ὀδακτάζω (odaktázō, “to bite, gnaw”), ἀδακτῶ (adaktô, “to itch”), ἀδαχεῖ (adakheî, “it itches”) which display a variation in initial vowel and stem-final consonant, and because of the limited semantic field, it is more likely to be Pre-Greek in origin.
