Etymology

The noun *daya* is not a regular French word; it is a loanword from Sanskrit (डाय, *dayā*), meaning “pity, compassion.” The term entered French in the 19th‑century Orientalist literature through translations of Indian philosophical texts and has kept its original form without any Latin or Greek intermediary. Its use is thus confined to specialized or scholarly contexts rather than everyday French.
