      Etimologicamente, a palavra direito é oriunda do latim directum, particípio passado de dirigere (dirigir, [co]mandar); procede de regere (reger, governar), verbo que, por sua vez, vem da raiz sânscrita rgu ou rj (conduzir), identicamente a rgugu (honesto, honrado), mais o prefixo di, originário das raízes dh e dhr, que dão idéia de firmeza, estabilidade.
      Etymologically, the word direito comes from Latin directum, past participle of dirigere (to drive, to mand); it comes from regere (to rule, to govern), verb which, in turn, comes from the Proto-Indo-European root rgu or rj (to conduct), identically to rgugu (honest, honoured), plus the prefix di, from the roots dh and dhr, which give the notion of firmness, stability.

      Others even think that vinum comes from vitis, from the Proto-Indo-European root vi, to curl, which produced Lithuanian apuynys, lupin plant, legume.104
