OP The AHD has this for the etymology of diet (http://www.bartleby.com/61/36/D0213600.html):
Middle English diete, from Old French, from Latin diaeta, way of living, diet, from Greek diaita, back-formation from diaitsthai, to live one's life, middle voice of diaitn, to treat.
So it looks like maahey is right.
The Irregularity in question is having sides of different lengths.
