Etymology

From Proto-Indo-Aryan *dar-, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *dar-, from Proto-Indo-European *der- (to split, to tear, to crack). Cognate with English tear, Ancient Greek δέρω (dérō), Macedonian дере (dere), Persian دریدن (daridan, to tear). The "heed" meaning is probably a semantic specialization of the original "tear" meaning.
