Etymology[edit]

From Proto-Brythonic *dọβ̃, from Proto-Celtic *dāmos, from Proto-Indo-European *dōm-o-s (“belonging to the house”), a vṛddhi derivative of Proto-Indo-European *dom-o-s, thematized form of *dṓm (“house, home”).[1] Cognate with Middle Breton deuff, Breton deuñv, Old Cornish dof, Old Irish dám.

Attested in glosses on Latin cliens.[2] All other Brythonic cognates mean only "son-in-law", including the Middle Welsh descendant.
