Etymology[edit]

From Proto-Indo-European *dʰl̥h₁rós, from which is also Ancient Greek θαλερός (thalerós, blooming), and possibly Sanskrit धीर (dhīra, steady, brave, energetic, resolute), ultimately from the root *dʰelh₁- (to come out, sprout, grow, bloom; to become green; shoot, vegetation, herb). Further cognates include Ancient Greek θάλλω (thállō), θαλλός (thallós, green twig), Albanian dal (to sprout), Welsh dalen (leaf), Middle Irish duille (leaf). Probably related to դալուկն (dalukn), դեղ (deł).
