Proto-Brythonic
Etymology
From Proto-Celtic *dāmos, from Proto-Indo-European *dōm-o-s (“belonging to the house”), a vṛddhi derivative of Proto-Indo-European *dom-o-s, thematized form of *dṓm (“house, home”).[1][2]
The meaning of "client" is attested only in Old Welsh, but this sense is likely to be inherited based on the Old Irish cognate dám (“company, retinue”).
