プラトンは『クラテュロス』の中で、ゼウスの称号（ゼンとディア）がギリシャ語の「生命」や「〜のため」という言葉とダブることから、「万物に常に生命を与える源」という意味の民間語源を挙げている<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=ceOQKf0ZvFMC "Plato's ''Cratylus''{{-"}}] by Plato, ed. by David Sedley, Cambridge University Press, 6 November 2003, [https://books.google.com/books?id=ceOQKf0ZvFMC&lpg=PP1&dq=Plato's%20Cratylus&pg=PA91#v=onepage&q&f=false p. 91]</ref>。この語源は、プラトンの語源を導き出す方法全体とともに、現代の学問では支持されていない<ref>https://archive.org/details/makersofhellascr00geej/mode/2up|pages=[https://archive.org/details/makersofhellascr00geej/mode/2up/page/n303/mode/2up?view=theater 554–555], The Makers of Hellas, C.
