Proto-West Germanic
Etymology
Unknown; possibly either related to:
- *dodrō (“egg yolk”), due to their yellow or orange stems, perhaps both from Proto-Indo-European *dʰh₂ut-ró-s, from *dʰuh₂-tó-s (“yellow”) (whence Tocharian B [Term?] (tute, “yellow”)[1]), from *dʰewh₂- (“smoke”) (whence also *dusnaz (“brownish, yellow”)),
- or Proto-Germanic *duttaz (“tuft”) and possibly Latvian duža (“tuft”), presumably from Proto-Indo-European *dʰudʰ-yéh₂.[2]
North Germanic forms are perhaps instead inherited from unattested Old Norse *doðra,[3] from Proto-Germanic *dudrǭ.[4]
