|etymtx=Grammatical information: adj.<br />Meaning: unknown; said of <b class="b3">ὄλεθρος</b>, <b class="b3">πότμος</b>, <b class="b3">φῆμις</b> (Od.).<br />Dialectal forms: Myc. [[deukario]] \/[[Deukalion]]\/?<br />Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably] [0] *deuk-? <b class="b2">to care</b>?<br />Etymology: Presupposes, like <b class="b3">Πολυ-δεύκης</b>, a noun <b class="b3">*δεῦκος</b> n., which is unknown. (Not to Lat. [[dūco]] etc., Lagercrantz KZ 35, 276). Cf. <b class="b3">δεύκει φροντίζει</b> H., <b class="b3">ἐνδυκέως</b> [[careful]]; <b class="b3">ἀδευκής</b> would then be [[careless]], [[rücksichtslos]], which fits very well. In a Scholion on A. R. 1, 1027, <b class="b3">δεῦκος</b> is glossed as <b class="b3">γλεῦκος</b>, which seems most improbable. (Is there a mistake for <b class="b3">ΓΔΕΥΚΟΣ</b>?) - The name <b class="b3">Δευκαλίων</b> may come from <b class="b3">*Λευκαλίων</b>, s. Bechtel Lex. s. <b class="b3">ἀδευκής</b>.
