Where this word comes from

The origin is unknown. A Proto-Indo-European preform *dʰwēstiā has been proposed, from the root *dʰwes- (“to breathe”) (compare Gothic 𐌳𐌹𐌿𐍃 (dius); more at deer), but this is uncertain since an initial f- would be expected in Latin; it apparently follows instead the same initial change of duellum > bellum (see w:History of Latin § Other).
