Beekes connects the term with Ancient Greek δῖος (dîos) and Sanskrit दि॒व्य (divyá), from Proto-Indo-European *diwyós. It may preserve the old nominative singular of Proto-Italic *djous, the oblique forms of which are the source of diēs (“day”). De Vaan, however, suggests that it is an innovative formation created from dīs. Alternatively, Weiss directly connects the term with Oscan 𐌃𐌉𐌝𐌅𐌉𐌉𐌀𐌝 (diíviiaí), from Proto-Italic *dīwijos, itself from Proto-Indo-European *diyewiyos, from *dyew-. ==== Pronunciation ==== (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈdiː.ʊs] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈdiː.us] ==== Adjective ==== dīus (feminine dīa, neuter dīum, comparative magis dīus, superlative maximē dīus or dīissimus, adverb dīē); first/second-declension adjective alternative form of dīvus (“divine, godly”) ===== Declension ===== First/second-declension adjective. === Etymology 2 === According to De Vaan, perhaps from inherited from Proto-Italic *-diwo-, from the genitive singular of Proto-Indo-European *dyḗws (“daytime sky”); compare diēs.
