nounmasculineu-stema light spear; javelin; dartFrom *darō (‘injury; damage, harm’) + *-ōþuz (forms nouns from weak class 2 verbs). There may have been an unattested weak class 2 verb **darōną ‘to harm, injure’ (denominative from *darō), to which *-ōþuz was then added, given that this suffix generally forms nouns from verbs.
