dösig

See also: døsig

German

Etymology

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.
