Etymology

[edit]

From Hebrew דעת (da'at, knowledge), possibly because of the belief that a ring daith piercing only allows intelligent speech to be heard. (This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “Source? Wikipedia says it's because you have to be intelligent to create such a piercing!”)
