Etymology: With δέρω compare in Germ. and Balto-Slav., e. g. Goth. dis-, gataíran `tear up, destroy', OHG (fir-)zeran `id.', NHG (ver)zehren; Lith. derù, dir̃ti (dìrti) `flay', OCS derǫ, dьrati `flay'. In Sanskrit athem. dár-ti `to split' and the nā-present dr̥ṇā́-ti `id.' Beside the aorist ἔ-δειρα \< *ἔ-δερσα Skt. dárṣ-a-t (subj.). Beside δάρσις = Skt. dŕ̥ti- `sack', Goth. ga-taúrhs `destruction', Russ. dertь `newly cleared land'; δρατός, δαρτός = Skt. dr̥tá-. - A jotpresent (cf. δείρω) in Lith. diriù `flay'; the old zero grade would agree with Gr. δαίρω (Hdt.), but this form is late.
