Etymology

In summary

From German Low German dösig, from Middle Low German dȫsich, from Old Saxon *dosig, *dusig, from Proto-West Germanic *dusīg (“stunned, dazed, giddy”), cognate with English dizzy. The Low German and Middle Low German words mean only “dazed, dizzy, dumb/stupid”, so it is certain that the German word also comprehends new formation from related dösen (“to doze, daydream”) + -ig. Related also to dusselig and English doze, dozy.
