Etymology

{{root, sga, ine-pro, dʰeh₁-, *mey-, id2=change}} From {{inh, sga, cel-pro, demenis, t=certain}}, of disputed origin. MacBain derives it from {{der, sga, ine-pro, *dʰéh₁mn̥, *dʰh₁men-, t=that which is established}}, while Pedersen derives it from {{der, sga, cel-pro, *dī-}} + a derivative of {{der, sga, ine-pro, *men-, id=change, t=to change}}, thus ‘unchangeable’.
