According to Pokorny, from Proto-Indo-European *delh₁- (“to cut”); the same root as dolō (“to hew, cut”) and doleō (“to suffer”). However, the root of dolō is usually associated with woodwork, not earthernware. De Vaan further suggests that this theory is unable to regularly explain the long ō-vowel. According to John Pairman Brown, a Punic commercial loanword, comparing Hebrew דֳּלִי (dŏlī) which already appears in Isaiah 40:15 and is from Proto-Semitic, also Arabic دَلْو (dalw, “bucket”) etc. De Vaan likewise suggests that the term may be a loanword since it refers to pottery. However, he does not provide a specific source for the borrowing. === Noun === dōlium n (genitive dōliī or dōlī); second declension a large earthenware vessel, hogshead, cask cauldron, large brass pot, barrel, vat ==== Declension ==== Second-declension noun (neuter). 1Found in older Latin (until the Augustan Age). ==== Derived terms ==== dōliolum ==== Descendants ==== Catalan: doll → French: dolium Italian: doglio Piedmontese: doja, doj Spanish: dujo → English: dolium === References === “dolium”, in Charlton T.
