Latin

Etymology

Perhaps from Proto-Italic *dōnāō. Equivalent to dōnum (gift) +‎ (denominative suffix). Italic cognates in Oscan 𐌃𐌖𐌍𐌀𐌕 (dunat) and Venetic donasto point to a Proto-Italic etymology, although De Vaan suggests that it remains possible that these merely represented the same development occuring separately in different languages.
