/ˈdeɪəs/,

/ˈdaɪəs/

Forms: Middle English deys, Middle English–1500s deis, Middle English des, Middle English–1500s dese, dece, deyse, dees, Middle English deise, deesse, Middle English–1500s dess(e, deas(e, 1500s deasse, dysse, Scottish deiss, deische, 1700s–1800s Scottish deas, Middle English, 1700s–1800s dais, 1800s– daïs. Plural daises, daïses

Etymology: < Old French deis (later dois), modern French (from Picard dialect) dais = Provençal des, Italian desco < Latin discum (nominative discus) quoit, disk, dish, in late Latin table. The sense-development has been ‘table, high table (including its platform), the raised end of the hall occupied by the high table and used for other purposes of distinction, the canopy covering this’: the latter being only in modern French, and thence in English. The word died out in English about 1600, but was retained in Scots in sense 3; its recent revival, chiefly since 1800, in sense 2, is due to historical and antiquarian writers; it appears in no English dictionaries until Worcester 1846, Craig 1847. Always a monosyllable in French, and originally so in English; the disyllabic pronunciation is now the more usual.1927 in Amer. Speech (1929) 5 132 Dais—two syllables.1967 A. C. Gimson Everyman's Eng. Pronouncing Dict. 118/2 Dais, -es ˈdeiis (deis), -iz.

†a. A raised table in a hall, at which distinguished persons sat at feasts, etc.; the high table. (Often including the platform on which it was raised: see 2) Obsolete since 1600.
