nounfeminineōn-stempart, portion, deal, divisionA Proto-Germanic/Balto-Slavic isogloss, per Kroonen 2013. Derksen 2008 notes Proto-Slavic *dělo (‘deed, act; work, operation, activity’) from Proto-Indo-European *dʰeh₁-l-, an l-extension of root dʰeh₁- (‘to put, make’). The pre-Germanic form would need to have been *dʰoih₁-l-éh₂, with an o-grade diphthongized root. Related to *dailiz (‘part, portion, deal’) and *dailą (‘part, portion, deal’).
