Etymology of дитя

Inherited from Old East Slavic дѣтѧ (dětę), from Proto-Slavic *dětę. The и of the first syllable in the singular is from дити́на (ditína), nowadays written дети́на (detína) by analogy with the accented де́ти (déti), with regular distant assimilation ѣ…и́ > и…и́. An alternative formulation by Šakhmatov (ѣ > и before a soft consonant) explains these forms more directly.
