Etymology
From ; equivalent to +  (whence Sabellic *-om, Oscan, ), from  (whence also Old Latin , ), accusative singular of  (so both parts are from the same source). The s was lost and the i lengthened by compensatory lengthening.

When ' ablative cases eōd, eād became eō, eā, idem's ablative true forms eōd-em, eād-em were interpreted as eō-dem, eā-dem. The neuter nominative singular id-em is natural. De verborum significatione gives emem as a form of the later eundem. The new marker -dem then served to create, , , etc. Compare with its later doublet:  (← *tam-dem).
