Where this word comes from

From Old Galician-Portuguese dadiva, from Latin datīva, plural of datīvum. The shift in stress is possibly due to the influence of dēbita (“debt”), from the tendency of learned words having stress on their first syllable, or from the reinterpretation of the word as dado (“given”) with a suffix.
