Etimologia (Inglese)

Affine norvegese: dudra

Ereditato da inglese medio: *dodden

Affine inglese antico: dydrian

Affine inglese medio: dideren

Affine inglese: dodder

In summary

Likely from dialectal dodge, dod, dodd (“to jog, trudge along, totter", also "to jerk, jig”), of uncertain origin. Perhaps from unrecorded Middle English *dodden, ultimately from Proto-Germanic *dud- (“to move”), related to Old English dydrian, dyderian (“to delude, deceive”), Middle English dideren (“to tremble, quake, shiver”), English dodder, Norwegian dudra (“to tremble”).
