Using 7.93 fb 1 of e + e collision data collected at a center-of-mass energy of 3.773 GeV with the BESIII detector, we present an analysis of the decay D 0 η π e + ν e . The branching fraction of the decay D 0 a 0 ( 980 ) e + ν e with a 0 ( 980 ) η π is measured to be ( 0.86 ± 0.1 7 stat ± 0.0 5 syst ) × 10 4 . The decay dynamics of this process is studied with a single-pole parametrization of the hadronic form factor and the Flatté formula describing the a 0 ( 980 ) line shape in the differential decay rate. The product of the form factor f + a 0 ( 0 ) and the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element | V c d | is determined for the first time with the result f + a 0 ( 0 ) | V c d | = 0.126 ± 0.01 3 stat ± 0.00 3 syst .
