About This Root

From Latin dare (to give) and its past participle datum. Variants include dot-, don-, dow-, dos-. This root's "giving" sense appears in condition (literally "agreeing together"), and in legal/social contexts like constitution and substitution. The semantic drift from "give" to "establish" to "arrange" shows how giving evolved into setting terms.
