Etymology
From Proto-Baltic *deš-, and cognate with Latvian desa (“sausage”). The further origin of the root is unclear; Smoczynski refrains from assigning any etymology,[1] while Karulis derives the root from Proto-Indo-European *deḱ- (“to cut, to sever, to split into fibers”). In the latter case, compare dialectal Lithuanian dešerà, Proto-Germanic *taglą (“hair; tail”), Sanskrit देशा (deśā, “fringe of cloth; lamp wick”).[2]
