    Etymology 2

    [edit]

      Mayrhofer separates this sense from the "run" sense (though admits likely semantic conflation by Indo-Iranian speakers as the languages developed) and tentatively prefers the connection with धू॒नोति॑ (dhūnóti, shakes) (as washing often requires shaking motions), from Proto-Indo-European *dʰewH- (to shake, move violently), as mentioned in older literature. If so, then compare Old Norse dýja (to shake).[1][2]
