Etimologija (Anglų k.)

Paveldėta iš Vidurio Anglijos: diven

Paveldėta iš senoji anglų: dȳfan

Sutampa su islandų: dýfa

Sutampa su Žemutinės Vokietijos: bedaven

In summary

From Middle English diven, duven, from the merger of Old English dȳfan (“to dip, immerse”, transitive weak verb) (from Proto-Germanic *dūbijaną) and dūfan (“to duck, dive, sink, penetrate”, intransitive strong verb) (past participle ġedofen). Cognate with Icelandic dýfa (“to dip, dive”), Low German bedaven (“covered, covered with water”). See also deep, dip.
