IPA: /děu̯.te.ros/, /ˈðeɸ.te.ros/, /ˈðef.te.ros/, /děu̯.te.ros/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈdew.te.ros/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈðeɸ.te.ros/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈðef.te.ros/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈðef.te.ros/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Uncertain. Traditionally viewed as a δύο (dúo, “two”) + -τερος (-teros, comparative suffix), but possibly from Proto-Indo-European *dews-, the root of δεύομαι (deúomai, “to be inferior”) (for which see δέω (déō, “to lack”)). Beekes cites a hypothesis by Cornelis Ruijgh that it is based on an adverbial stem *δευ (*deu) found also in δεῦτε (deûte), δεῦρο (deûro, “come here!”).
