Proto-Slavic
Etymology
From Proto-Balto-Slavic *dargás (whence Latvian dārgs, Latgalian duorgs, Old Prussian Darge, Dargel (personal name)), of unclear origin:
- Berneker, Mladenov: Possibly related to Lithuanian derėti (“to suit, to fit”), Latvian derêt (“to comply”) from Proto-Indo-European *der- (“to tear, to slice”) or *dʰer- (“to perform, to make”). Suffix *-gъ perhaps the same as in Proto-Slavic *bolgъ (“gentle, noble”) - *boľьjь (“greater, better”), *dьlgъ (“long”) - *dьľьjь (“longer”).
- Trubachev (ESSJa): From the same root as Proto-Slavic *dьržati (“to hold”) from Proto-Indo-European *dʰer- (“to sustain, to hold”), with original meaning “dearly held, adorn”.
