Etymology
In summary
Borrowed from German Low German Kuddelmuddel. The word originally meant "dirty linen" and is derived from the verb koddeln (“to wash clothes superficially”). The rhyming part might be based on a cognate of German Modder (“mud”), a Dutch form of which also led to English muddle.
