Etymology

A merger of two earlier verbs:
* bedodden (“deceive”), from Middle Dutch dodden, from Proto-West Germanic *dudiʀōn or *dudirōn, frequentative form derived from Proto-Germanic *dud- (“to move, be moved”), from Proto-Indo-European *dʰew- (“to move, advance, move away, pass away”).
* bedotten (“confuse”), from Middle Dutch dotten, dutten.
