دِينreligion, faithدَيْنdebtEtymology
The verb is form IV of the Semitic root d-y-n, which carries the linked ideas of judgment, law, and debt. The same root gives Arabic dīn, meaning religion or the day of reckoning. The causative form IV shapes the sense into passing judgment against someone, that is, condemning or convicting.
