Etymology 1 edit
From Latin deus, from earlier *dẹ̄vos, from Old Latin deivos, from Proto-Italic *deiwos, from Proto-Indo-European *deywós, derived from the root *dyew- (“sky, heaven”).
Pronunciation edit
- IPA(key): /ˈdi.o/, (traditional) */ˈdi.o/
Audio (file) - Rhymes: -io
- Hyphenation: dì‧o
- Though the modern standard prefers not to geminate the initial /d/, it is geminated in traditional pronunciation (as reflected by the usage of gli before dei) and the pronunciation in all the regional Italian varieties, excluding those that don't have syntactic gemination.
Noun edit
dio m (plural dei or (archaic or dialectal) dii, feminine dea, feminine plural dee)
- god, deity
- (informal) one who is remarkably skilled in something; ace, crackerjack, wiz
