dius.
god;
Meaning & usage
alternative form of dīvus (“divine, godly”)
Where this word comes from
Disputed. Beekes connects the term with Ancient Greek δῖος (dîos) and Sanskrit दि॒व्य (divyá), from Proto-Indo-European *diwyós. It may preserve the old nominative singular of Proto-Italic *djous, the oblique forms of which are the source of diēs (“day”). De Vaan, however, suggests that it is an innovative formation created from dīs. Alternatively, Weiss directly connects the term with Oscan 𐌃𐌉𐌝𐌅𐌉𐌉𐌀𐌝 (diíviiaí), from Proto-Italic *dīwijos, itself from Proto-Indo-European *diyewiyos, from *dyew-.
alternative form of diū (“by day”)
Where this word comes from
According to De Vaan, perhaps from inherited from Proto-Italic *-diwo-, from the genitive singular of Proto-Indo-European *dyḗws (“daytime sky”); compare diēs. Cognate with Sanskrit दिवा॑ (dívā, “by day”) and Old Armenian տիւ (tiw).
