δίνω

Lemma: δίνω

Translation: we gave; we provided (verb)

Etymology: From Medieval Greek δίνω (díno), from Ancient Greek δίδωμι (dídōmi, 'I give'). The Ancient Greek term is from Proto-Indo-European *deh₃- ('to give'), which is also the source of Latin dare ('to give'), from which English 'donate', 'donor', and 'date' (the fruit) derive. The semantic connection between giving and the concept of donation is clear across these languages.
