Where this word comes from

Inherited from Old Galician-Portuguese dia, from Vulgar Latin *dia, first-declension reshaping of Classical Latin diēs, reformed from the accusative diem, from Proto-Italic *djēm, the accusative of *djous (“day, sky”), from Proto-Indo-European *dyḗws (“heaven, sky”). Distantly related to Deus, Zeus and Jove.
