Lithuanian

Etymology

Cognate with Latvian dairîties (to stare, to gaze) (o-grade), Old Prussian endyrītwei (to look at), and likely Proto-Slavic *diriti (to seek, to look for) (whence Bulgarian ди́ря (dírja, to look for)).[1] The Balto-Slavic forms are perhaps further derived from Proto-Indo-European *deyH-r (to emit, to transcend); compare dialectal Norwegian tira (to look, shine, beam),[2] German zieren (to decorate).
