/ˈdɛːmlak/
Etimologia (Inglês)

19th century, derived from dämlich. The second syllable has been compared to Lackel (“yokel”), but this word is southwestern, whereas Dämlack appears to be of northeastern, especially Berlinian, origin. Therefore a derivation with the Slavic suffix *-akъ is more likely. Said suffix has been productive in various eastern German dialects.
