Where it comes from

From Proto-Semitic *dalt- (“door”), cognate with Akkadian 𒄑𒅅 (daltum), Ugaritic 𐎄𐎍𐎚 (dlt /⁠daltu⁠/), and Aramaic דַּלְתָּא. The /t/, which originally marked it as a feminine, has been reinterpreted as the third root consonant and the noun has taken the form of a segolate. Doublet of דָּלֶ״ת (dale"t, “dalet”)
