Meaning & usage
fallow deer, Dama dama
Where this word comes from
Inherited from Old Swedish dā hiorth, from dā (“fallow deer”) + hiorter (“deer”); dā is borrowed from Old English dā, from Proto-West Germanic *daihā, from Proto-Indo-European *dʰeh₁(y)-. According to Thun, the modern form in dov- (for expected *dåhjort) is due to the influence of dov (“muffled, deep”), with reference to the roaring of stags.
