Etymology of DEWY

The word "dewy" can be traced back to the Middle English word "deu" or "dewe", derived from the Old English word "dēaw". The Old English term is related to the Proto-Germanic word "*dawwaz" and the Proto-Indo-European root "*dheu-", both of which mean "to flow" or "to drip". This etymology reflects the origin of the word, as "dewy" refers to the moisture that seemingly drips or flows onto surfaces during the early morning hours.
