Etymology[edit]
From Old Latin duonus. Compare the change from duellum to bellum (“war”), duis to bis (“twice”) and the root dvi-. Which explains δείδω, δέος ("good"). The comparative melior ("better"), compare Ancient Greek μάλα, μᾶλλον. Superlative optimus, optumus ("best") from the root opof, ops, opes. Compare copia and apiscor.
