The root "dem-", as in "democracy", is of Greek origin, from demos "the people". Latin derived words that appear to contain this root are from either:
- the prefix de- added to roots beginning with 'm': e.g., demonstrate, from de- and monstrare, "to show"
- the syllable dam with a vowel change caused by prehistoric stress on a prefix: e.g., indemnity, from in- + damnum, "damage"
