Etymology
Related to Proto-Indo-Iranian *dásyuš (“enemy, foreigner, foreign people, foreign land”), from Proto-Indo-European *des- (“enemy, foreigner”).
See also Old Persian 𐎭𐏃𐎹𐎠𐎢 (d-h-y-a-u /dahạyau/, “land, country”), Persian ده, Old Avestan 𐬛𐬀𐬒𐬌𐬌𐬎 (dax́iiu, “country”), Younger Avestan 𐬛𐬀𐬣𐬵𐬎 (daŋ́hu). Ancient Greek δοῦλος (doûlos, “slave”) perhaps belongs in this group as well. Related to दस्यु (dasyu, “barbarian”).
