Etymology

Usually compared to Sanskrit धी (dhī́), ध्यान (dhyāna), Avestan 𐬛𐬀𐬉𐬨𐬀𐬥 (daēman), and other similar forms, ultimately derived from Proto-Indo-European *dʰeyh₂-. May have been first Proto-Greek *θᾱϝέομαι/ *θᾱϝάομαι, perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *dʰeh₂u-. Forte suggests that *dʰeyh₂- and *dʰeh₂u- are both variants of a more basic Proto-Indo-European *dʰeh₂, while Beekes takes the word and its relatives as Pre-Greek.[1] See θαῦμα (thaûma) for more.
