Etymology

edit

From Medieval Latin or Late Latin theodiscus, from a Germanic language, ultimately from Proto-Germanic *þiudiskaz (of the people, popular, vernacular), from *þeudō (people) + *-iskaz (-ish, -ic, -al). The Old English form is þēodisċ, the Old High German one diutisc (attested ca. 1090 in the Annolied). Compare also Friulian todesc, archaic or regional French thiois, Sicilian tudiscu.
