Etymology

A suppletive verb. The verbal noun is from Middle Breton donet (influenced by monet (“to go”)), from Old Breton diminet. Cognate with Welsh dyfod, dod, and Cornish dos, dones; from Old Breton di, do + monet (“to go”). The other forms are from Proto-Celtic *toageti, itself also a suppletive verb (stemming from *ageti (“to drive”) and *pelh₂-). See also Old Irish do·aig (“to drive off”).
