Etymology

Inherited from Proto-Indo-Aryan *dwā́ram, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *dʰwā́ram (compare Avestan 𐬛𐬎𐬎𐬀𐬭𐬆𐬨 (duuarəm), Old Persian 𐎯𐎺𐎼𐎹𐎠 (duvar-, “door, gate”)), from Proto-Indo-European *dʰworom (“enclosure, courtyard, i.e. something enclosed by the door”), accusative of *dʰwer-. Cognate with Old Church Slavonic дворъ (dvorŭ, “court, courtyard”), Latin forum (“forum, market-place”) and Lithuanian dvãras (“estate”). This Proto-Indo-European neuter is a derivation of the basic feminine root noun *dʰwer-, *dʰwor- (“door, gate”) that also gave Sanskrit द्वार् (dvā́r).
