Lithuanian
Etymology
Of unclear origin.[1] Smoczynski tentatively derives the word from Proto-Indo-European *derǵʰ-; compare dar̃žas (“vegetable garden”), as well as possibly Proto-Germanic *targǭ (“edge, rim, border”) (whence English target). Compare also Polish dzierżyć (“to hold”),[2] itself from Proto-Slavic *dьržati (“to hold”), as well as Ancient Greek δράσσομαι (drássomai, “to clutch, grasp with the hand”).[3] Avestan 𐬛𐬆𐬭𐬆𐬰 (dərəz, “fetter”) is unrelated, despite similar phonetics and semantics.
