Du-te is the informal imperative of the reflexive verb a se duce, which means to go or to leave. The base verb a duce, meaning to carry or to lead, comes from Latin ducere. The reflexive sense turns carrying into carrying oneself off, hence go. Te is the second-person singular reflexive pronoun, attached after the imperative form du.
