Furnée pointed out that the traditional derivation from *δίκ-σκος (*dík-skos), from δικεῖν (dikeîn, “to cast”) is hardly possible, because the suffix “-σκο-” is rare in nominal derivation. Therefore, he suggested to start from *δισκ- (*disk-), a variant (as opposed to direct formation) of δικεῖν (dikeîn), which has Pre-Greek origin. See also δίκτυον (díktuon, “fishing net; strick”).[1]
