Etymology
From *diganą (‘to knead, create out of clay or dough’) + *-raz (forms adjectives from verbal roots). Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *dʰiǵʰ-ró-s from root *dʰeyǵʰ- (‘to knead; to form, shape’). Cognates are Ancient Greek τεῖχος (teîkhos) (teîkhos, ‘a wall; mound, earth works; fortified city’) and Proto-Slavic *děža (‘kneading trough’). Related to *daigijǭ (‘kneader of bread; dairy-maid’), *daigaz (‘soft, pliable’).
