Pronunciation

/ˈdôg/ /ˈdɔːɡ/

Etymology

[ dog, däg ] (noun.) before 12th century. Middle English dogge, from Old English docga (“hound, powerful breed of dog”), a pet-form diminutive of Old English -docce (“muscle”) (compare fingerdocce 'finger-muscle') with suffix -ga (compare frocga 'frog', picga 'pig'), from Proto-Germanic *dukkōn 'power, strength, muscle'. More at dock. In the 16th century, it superseded Old English hund and was adopted by many continental European languages.
