It appears that Dionysus is named for having fled the wrath of Hera. When Dionysus was an infant in Hermes’ care, Hermes took the boy to King Athamas and his aunt, Queen Ino, to be raised as a girl to hide him from his mother, Hera. It is not clear why Hera was feeling wrathful and toward whom.

Compare δυερός to the Portuguese Ribera del Duero, which runs through wine country. Euripides states that the son of Semele gave to man the gift of wine, the best medicine for misery.

For filled with that good gift, suffering mankind forgets its grief; from it comes sleep; with it oblivion of the troubles of the day. There is no other medicine for misery.” Euripides, The Bacchae, l. 274

Compare, further, the Ribera del Duero with the Via Doloroso “The Way of Grief”.
In context, do-e-ra / do-e-ra is often accompanied by contextual complements that pertain to grief, injury, or misery. In the pe-ma / pe-mo tablets, these words refer to calamity and misery and may be translated as “woe”.
