2. Proto-Indo-European *dʰeh₁-
3. Proto-Indo-European *-s
4. Proto-Indo-European *dʰéh₁s
5. Proto-Indo-European *dʰh₁sós
6. Proto-Graeco-Phrygian *dʰehós
7. Proto-Hellenic *tʰehós
8. Ancient Greek θεός
9. From Proto-Hellenic *tʰehós (whence also Mycenaean Greek 𐀳𐀃 (te-o)), a thematicization of amphikinetic Proto-Indo-European *dʰéh₁-s-(s) ~ *dʰh₁-s-és, from *dʰeh₁- (“to do, to put, to place”) + *-s (s-stem forming suffix). Cognate with Phrygian δεως (“to the gods”), Old Armenian դիք (dikʻ, “gods”) and Latin fēria (“festival day”), fānum (“temple”) and fēstus (“festive”).
10. Despite its similarity in form and meaning, the word is not related to Latin deus; the two come from different roots. A true cognate of deus is Ζεύς (Zeús). See: Latin Nouns '
fēria'.
