Etymology
Cognate with the rare Old Irish dim (“something, anything”), which may be a Brythonic loanword. Further etymology uncertain. Matasović takes it from Proto-Celtic *dis-smi-, dissimilated from Proto-Indo-European *dus-smi- (literally “bad one”). Morris Jones hypothesizes the original meaning was “share, portion” and derives it from Proto-Celtic *dīsman, from Proto-Indo-European *deh₂y- (“to share”).
* Pronunciation of this word was estimated based on phonology/orthography
