Etymology: From Proto-Brythonic *dijar or the like; cognate with Cornish dor and Welsh daear. Further etymology is unknown; Morris Jones associates it with Proto-Indo-European *dʰéǵʰōm, but that suggestion has not been taken up by later scholars. No proposed etymology is given by GPC, Jackson 1953, Schrijver 1995, or Matasović 2009.
