In summary

From Middle High German dunst, tunst, from Old High German tunst, from Proto-Germanic *dunstą (“haze, mist, dust, evaporation”). Related to English dust. The onset d- is already predominant in Middle High German, thus due to irregular re-voicing. The expected form tunst disappears in early modern German under the reinforcing influence of Central and Low German (compare Middle Low German dūst, from Old Saxon thunst).
