[edit]Etymology 1
[edit]From Early Modern English dadd, dadde (circa 1500), undoubtedly older, from unrecorded Middle English *dadde, of uncertain ultimate origin. Compare West Frisian deite (“dad, daddy”), Swabian Dede (“Godfather”).
- Perhaps of Celtic origin, compare Welsh and Breton tad (from Proto-Brythonic *tad), Old Irish data; and possibly related to Russian дя́дя (djádja, “uncle”) and/or Russian де́душка (déduška, “grandfather”), all imitative. In Welsh, when subject to soft mutation (which occurs in vocative contexts, among others), tad becomes dad.
- Perhaps imitative of a child's first uttered syllables da, da.[1]
- Possibly from a metathetic variation of a hypothetical Old English *ætta, *atta (“father”), from Proto-West Germanic *attō, from Proto-Germanic *attô ("father, forefather"; whence also North Frisian ate, aatj, taatje, tääte (“father; dad”), Middle High German tate (“father, dad”) (whence German Tate (“dad”), Bavarian tatte (“dad”), Cimbrian tatta (“dad”)), Icelandic táta (“dad”)), from Proto-Indo-European *átta (“father”), whence Sanskrit तत (tata, “father”).

[edit]Noun
[edit]dad (plural dads)
- (informal) A father, a male parent.
- Synonyms: see Thesaurus:father
- His dad was always there for him.
- 2025 June 15, Madeline Holcombe, “How to be a dad to sons today, according to experts”, in CNN[2]:
- A lot of the power for dads comes in the form of modeling. As much as dads can teach their sons directly and guide them in the world, they also provide an example of who their children can aim to be as they grow up, Singley said.
“There are going to be the times when as the dad I’m going to screw up,” he said.
- Used to address one's father; often capitalized.
- (slang) Used to address an older adult male.
