Etymology

1. Inherited from Old English dā, from Proto-West Germanic *daihā, from Proto-Indo-European *dʰeh₁(y)-.
2. The use of do as a common term for both the male and female fallow deer (departing from the expectation that the term for the male, bukke, would be generalised) may be a semantic loan from Latin damma or because bukke also meant "he-goat".
