Etymology

Probably from a reduction of the variant form doară, itself probably from Latin dē hōrā. Alternative etymologies include a Vulgar Latin construction *de volat, alteration of dē velit, or that it perhaps resulted from confusion with oare, with an interrogative function, or simply that it derives from a variant of dar (“but”).
