Where this word comes from

Etymology tree Proto-Indo-European *med- Proto-Indo-European *-os Proto-Italic *medos Proto-Indo-European *-éh₁ti Proto-Indo-European *-yeti Proto-Indo-European *-éh₁yeti Proto-Italic *-ējō Proto-Indo-European *-éh₁tiinflu. Proto-Italic *-ēō Latin -eō Latin medeor From Proto-Indo-European *med- (“to measure, give advice, heal”). Possibly a stative verb formed to *medos (“measure, judgement”), with a semantic shift from "be a judge" to "to be a healer." The LIV alternatively suggests that the term reflects an essive verb from the aforementioned root, though De Vaan argues that the e-grade would be unexpected in such a scenario. Compare Avestan 𐬬𐬍-𐬨𐬀𐬛 (vī-mad), Old Persian [script needed] (azdā), Old Armenian միտ (mit), Old Irish midithir, Gothic 𐌼𐌹𐍄𐌰𐌸𐍃 (mitaþs), Ancient Greek μέδομαι (médomai), German Maut.
