Etimologie (Engels)

Geërf van Middle English: dayesye

Geërf van Old English: dæġes ēage

In summary

From Middle English dayesye, from Old English dæġes ēage (“daisy”, literally “day's eye”) due to the flowers closing their blossoms during night. The rhyming slang comes from daisy roots for boots.
