Comment
This is a shorter formulation of Herodian's etymology δαίω "to divide" → δάις "battle" → δήις → δῆρις. The direct etymon of δῆρις, which is δάις "battle", is erased and only the etymon of δάις, δαίω "to divide" is provided as etymon for δῆρις. However, in some sources δῆρις is labelled "deverbal noun" (ῥηματικὸν ὄνομα): this means that a noun ultimately derived from a verb, be it via another noun, is itself labelled ῥηματικός
