===Etymology===
{{root|ang|ine-pro|*dʰeh₁-}} {{dercat|ang|gem-pro|ine-pro|inh=1}}
From {{inh|ang|gmw-pro|*dōn||to do}}. The exact development of past tense forms {{m|ang|dyde}}, {{m|ang|dydest}}, and {{m|ang|dydon}} is unexplained, for such forms have ''-y-'' instead of expected ''*-e-'' (''*dede'', ''*dedest'', ''*dedon'') from Proto-Germanic past stem ''*ded-''/''*dēd-''.

{{col-top|2|cog}}
Cognate with {{cog|ofs|dwā}}, Old Saxon {{m|osx|dōn}}, {{cog|odt|duon}}, {{cog|goh|tuon}}. Non-Germanic cognates include {{cog|grc|τίθημι}}, {{cog|la|faciō}}, {{cog|cu|дѣти}}.

====Usage notes====
* Old English does not have [[do-support]]. While ''dōn'' does have auxiliary function in Old English, such uses are purely causative, equivalent to modern "to make" or "to cause to" (as per sense 2 above). Therefore, when asking "do you hate me?", one would say ''hatast þū mē?'' (literally "hatest thou me?"), not '''''dēst''' þū mē hatian?'' (which would instead mean "do you '''make''' me hate?").
* There are some emphatic uses of ''dōn'' that bear some resemblance to do-support constructions, often involving the {{m|ang|ǣġþer}} {{m|ang|ġe}} ("both ... and ...") construction and other verbs in apposition, although the apposed verbs are finite rather than infinitives. In such contexts, ''dōn'' is generally better translated with "to be", and the apposed verbs with participles or adjectives as necessary: ''sē catt '''dēþ''' ǣġþer ġe slǣpð ġe wacaþ'' ("the cat '''is''' both asleep and awake", or if translated with do-support, "the cat '''does''' both sleep and be awake").
* ''Dōn'' can be used as a [[pro-verb]] (i.e. standing in for another verb, generally replacing one that was previously mentioned to avoid repetition), like the modern verb: ''Hatast þū mē swā swā hēo '''dēþ'''?'' ("Do you hate me like she '''does'''?")
