Etymology[edit]
Of unknown origin.[1] Perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *das-, *des- (“to fray, exhaust, get tired, faint, unravel”). (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?) (This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “In this latter case, what are some proposed cognates?”)
