dad
EnglishEdit
PronunciationEdit
Etymology 1Edit
From Early Modern English dadd, dadde (circa 1500), undoubtedly older, from unrecorded Middle English *dadde, of uncertain ultimate origin.
- Perhaps of Celtic origin, compare Welsh and Breton tad (from Proto-Brythonic *tad), Old Irish data; and possibly related to Russian дя́дя (djádja, “uncle”) and/or Russian де́душка (déduška, “grandfather”), all imitative. In Welsh, after triggering a soft mutation, 'Tâd' turns into 'Dâd'.
- Perhaps imitative of a child's first uttered syllables da, da.[1]
- Possibly from a metathetic variation of unrecorded Old English *ætta, *atta (“father”), from Proto-West Germanic *attō, from Proto-Germanic *attô ("father, forefather"; whence also North Frisian ate, aatj, taatje, tääte (“father; dad”), German Tate (“dad”), Bavarian tatte (“dad”), Cimbrian tatta (“dad”), Norwegian taate (“dad”), Icelandic táta (“dad”)), from Proto-Indo-European *átta (“father”), whence Sanskrit तत (tata, “father”).
