Proto-Indo-European *diktós
Proto-Italic *diktos
Latin dictus
Old Spanish decho
Spanish dicho

    Inherited from Latin dictus. In some Old Spanish texts, it originally appeared as decho; it was later altered with the influence of the -i- from conjugated forms of decir (e.g. digo, dice, diga, etc.)[1], or a result of metaphony from palatalization. Compare English dictum.
