Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /deːs/
  • Rhymes: -eːs

Etymology 1

Possibly from Middle High German deist (“that is”), contraction of daz or dat + ist. Compare German es sei denn (literally “it be then”) and the use of English that is to introduce a specification or additional requirement.

Alternatives include some formation with Luxembourgish ees (“once, sometime”), from Middle High German eins, or possibly a contraction similar to Dutch tenzij, based on Middle High German et en sī (“it be not”), where the loss of the stressed final syllable would be unexpected, however.
