From WesternProto-Malayo-Polynesian*di-tu,[1] from*di +*-tu, fromProto-Austronesian*Cu(“2pl deixis and spatio-temporal reference: that; there, then”). The latter half of the word is likely related toito, in a similar pattern to other Tagalog demonstrative pronouns. CompareCebuanodidto andIlocanoditoy. Meanwhile, the former half is possibly related toMalaydi andIndonesiandi as a likely cognate.
