Where this word comes from
Etymology tree Proto-Indo-European *deḱ- Proto-Indo-European *-yeti Proto-Indo-European *-éyeti Proto-Indo-European *doḱ-éye-ti Proto-Italic *dokejō Proto-Italic *dokeō Ancient Greek διδάσκω (didáskō)sl. Latin doceō From Proto-Italic *dokeō, from earlier *dokejō, causative of Proto-Indo-European *deḱ- (“to take”). The sense "to teach," presumably continues an earlier causative meaning "to make perceive." Also, the sense "rehearse, present on stage" is a semantic loan from Ancient Greek διδάσκω (didáskō). The participle form has been explained as the result of syncopation from earlier *doketos, though it has also been explained as the result of the affixation of -tus to the bare root doc-. Cognate with Ancient Greek δοκέω (dokéō, “to expect, suppose, seem”) and Ancient Greek δέχομαι (dékhomai, “to accept, receive”).
