Etymologie (Englisch)

In summary

From Middle High German tūchen, touchen, from Old High German -tūhhan, from Proto-West Germanic *dūkan. Cognate to Dutch duiken, Swedish dyka. The word had become obsolete in Upper German, but was later reintroduced on the basis of Central German dūchen, tūchen and Middle Low German dūken, which had remained common. In the course of this process, the originally strong verb became weak. A derivative with Low German consonantism is ducken (cognate to and synonymous with English duck).
