Etymology

[edit]

From Proto-Baltic *deš-, and cognate with Latvian desa (sausage). The further origin of the root is unclear; Smoczynski refrains from assigning any etymology,[1] while Karulis derives the root from Proto-Indo-European *deḱ- (to cut, to sever, to split into fibers). In the latter case, compare dialectal Lithuanian dešerà, Proto-Germanic *taglą (hair; tail), Sanskrit देशा (deśā, fringe of cloth; lamp wick).[2]
