ĭisplaced Old English twēo ( “ doubt ” ) and twēoġan ( “ to doubt ” ). The noun is derived from Middle English dout, doute ( “ uncertain feeling questionable point hesitation anxiety, fear reverence, respect something to be feared, danger ” ), įrom Old French doute, dote, dute ( “ uncertain feeling, doubt ” ), from doter, douter, duter ( “ to doubt to be afraid of, fear ” ) (compare Middle French doubter modern French douter ( “ to doubt to suspect ” )) see further etymology above.
However, the English word continued to be pronounced without the b sound.
Although the Middle English form of the word was spelled without a b, this letter was later introduced through the influence of the Latin words dubitāre and dubitō.
The verb is derived from Middle English douten ( “ to be in doubt, feel unsure to be afraid or worried to hesitate to be confused to have respect or reverence ” ), from Old French douter, doter, duter (compare Middle French doubter), from Latin dubitāre ( “ to hesitate ” ), the present active infinitive of dubitō ( “ to be uncertain, doubt to hesitate, waver in coming to an opinion to consider, ponder ” ) the further etymology is uncertain, but one theory is that dubitō may be derived from dubius ( “ fluctuating, wavering doubtful, dubious, uncertain ” ), from duhibius ( “ held as two ” ), from duo ( “ two ” ) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *dwóh₁ ( “ two ” )) + habeō ( “ to have, hold ” ) (possibly ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *gʰeh₁bʰ- ( “ to grab, take ” )).
