Etymology
From Middle Dutch verdiepinge. By surface analysis, verdiepen + -ing. Compare German Vertiefung, Swedish fördjupning. The sense “storey” derives from a late-medieval practice of gaining an additional storey by lowering the floor of a house’s attic and/or putting the ground floor below ground level.
