Etymology

Unknown, with many speculative ideas floating around. Lucht is ready to fall back on supposing a potential substrate borrowing if no other option proves worthy. See Lucht 2007 (p. 137) for discussion.[1] Delamarre's comparison to Ancient Greek δεῖπνον (deîpnon)[2] does not work due to mismatched first vowels.

Noun

*dekʷro- gender unattested

  1. food

Descendants

  • Proto-Brythonic: *debr
  • ⇒ Gaulish: Deprosagiios (literally “food-seeker”)
