- M.E. do, first person singular of O.E. don, from W.Gmc. *don, from PIE base *dhe-. Slang meaning "to do the sex act with or to" is from 1913. Second person does was a northern variant in O.E. that displaced doth, doeth 16c.-17c. The pt. did is O.E. dyde, the only remainder in Gmc. of the old linguistic pattern of forming a pt. by reduplication of the stem of the present tense. Far back in Gmc. the equivalent of did was used as a suffix to make the past tenses of other verbs, hence the English -ed suffix (O.E. -de). The pp. done grew out of O.E. pp. gedon, but the only vestige of the prefix is in ado. Slang done for "doomed" is from 1842. Doable has been around since 1449; do-gooder first recorded 1927. ...Английский Этимологический словарь
