# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Distel

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Distel. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Distel, feminine, ‘thistle,’ from the equivalent Middle High German distel, masculine and feminine, Old High German distila, feminine, distil, masculine; corresponds to Dutch and Low German distel, Anglo-Saxon þistel, English thistle, Old Icelandic þistell. Modern Low German and English dialects have î in the accented syllable; hence the root is þī̆st? Akin to Gothic wiga-deinô, ‘milk-thistle’?.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Docht

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Docht. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Docht, masculine, ‘wick.’ The strictly Modern High German form should be dacht, which is still dialectal, as well as the variant tacht, with the t from þ, as in tausend, Middle High German and Old High German tâkt, masculine, neuter; compare Old Icelandic þáttr, ‘thread, wick.’ A Teutonic root, þêh, þêg, still appears in Swiss dœgel, ‘wick,’ Bavarian dâhen, Alsatian dôche, ‘wick.’ In the non-Teutonic languages no primitively root têk has as yet been found. For another Old Teutonic term for Docht, see under Wieche.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Docke

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Docke. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Docke, singular, ‘doll,’ from Middle High German tocke, feminine, ‘doll,’ also ‘young girl,’ Old High German toccha, ‘doll.’ The word is not sound in the oldest periods of the other dialects, nor can the Modern High German meanings, ‘skein, yarn,’ be authenticated from Middle High German, Old High German, and the early stages of cognate languages; yet there is no reason to doubt the real Teutonic origin of the word.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Dogge

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Dogge. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Dogge, feminine, ‘bulldog, mastiff’ simply Modern High German, from the equivalent Dutch and English dog (from about 1050 A.D. the word occurs in Anglo-Saxon as docga), whence also French dogue. With regard to High German gg, as a proof of a word being borrowed from Low German, compare Flagge.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Dohle

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Dohle. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Dohle, feminine, ‘jackdaw,’ from the equivalent Middle High German tâhele, tâle, tâhe, Old High German tâha, feminine; primary form *dêhwô, dêwô, according to Anglo-Saxon *dâwe, English daw, whence also English caddow, ‘daw’ (the first part of the compound is Anglo-Saxon câ, Dutch kâ, Old High German châha, ‘daw’; so, too, English chough). From Teutonic þâhwalô is derived Italian taccola, ‘magpie.’
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Dokes

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Dokes. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |

# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Dock

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Dock. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Dock, neuter, ‘dock,’ simply ModHG; from the equivalent English dock, the origin of which is very obscure. From English and Dutch (dok) the word was adopted by Swedish, Danish, Modern High German, and Modern French.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Dirne

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Dirne. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Dirne, feminine, ‘lass, hussy, wench’ (not found in Upper German), from Middle High German dirne, dierne, Old High German diorna, ‘maid-servant, girl, wench,’ Compare Dutch deern, Old Saxon thiorna, Old Icelandic þerna, feminine; in Gothic probably *þiwaírnô; compare widuwaírna, ‘orphan,’ original sense perhaps ‘widow's son.’ Thus, too, *þiwaírnô, ‘menial's, thrall's daughter, who is therefore herself a slave, i.e, a servant.’ The derivative syllable is a diminutive suffix (compare Eichhorn); the stem is indisputably þiwa-, ‘menial.’ For further cognates, see dienen, Degen.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Dohne

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Dohne. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Dohne, feminine, ‘gin, noose, springe,’ from Middle High German don, done, feminine, ‘stretching,’ Old High German dona, ‘branch twig.’ Dohne is the ‘branch bent or stretched for catching birds.’ The Aryan root ten, ‘to stretch, extend,’ is discussed under dehnen, dünn. Old Bulgarian tonoto, ​‘cord, noose,’ Latin tenus, n, ‘cord,’ Sanscrit tantu-s, tantrî, ‘wire, cord, Greek τένων, ‘sinew,’ are closely allied in meaning to Dohne. So too Old High German donên (Gothic *þunan), ‘to exert oneself.’
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Rudel

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Rudel | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Rudel, n., ‘flock, herd, troop,’ ModHG. only, of uncertain etymology, perhaps a dimin. of Rotte, ‘host’ (comp. MidHG. rode with rotte). OIc. riðull, ‘small detachment of soldiers,’ can scarcely prove the genuine G. origin of Rudel, since it probably belongs to riða, ‘to ride.’ The Kinship of Rudel with Goth. wriþus, ‘herd,’ is also uncertain.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Rum

​ Rum, m., late ModHG. from the equiv. E. rum, whence also Fr. rhum, rum. The source of the word is said to be some American language; formerly it was wrongly derived from Sans. rôma, ‘water.’
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Rummel

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Rummel | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Rummel, m., ‘rumble, din, lumber, lump,’ ModHG. only, from LG. rummel, ‘heap’ Du. rommelen, ‘to tumble,’ rommelzo, ‘medley’; see rumpeln. In the sense of ‘noise’ ModHG. Rummel is connected with Du. rommelen, ‘to rattle, roar, drink (of beasts),’ to which OIc. rymja, ‘to roar, make a noise,’ must be related.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Rumpf

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Rumpf | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Rumpf, m., ‘trunk, body,’ from the equiv. MidHG. (MidG.) rumph, m.; in UpG. and MidG. botech, OHG. botah (AS. bodig, E. body). Comp. LG. rump, Du. romp, ‘trunk,’ MidE. rumpe, E. rump, Scand. rumpr, ‘rump.’ Allied to rümpfen?.

​ Ruhr, f., ‘stir, disorder, diarrhœa, dysentery,’ from the equiv. MidHG. ruor, ruore, f., lit. ‘violent, hasty motion’; allied to rühren; comp. MidHG. ruortranc, ‘purgative.’ The general meaning ‘‘violent motion’ is still preserved in the compound Aufruhr, ‘riot.’

​ ModHG. Rune, f. (AS. rûnstafas, ‘secret characters, runes’), was introduced from the Scand. dials. by the literary movement for the promotion of Teut. studies in the last cent.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Ruder

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Ruder | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Ruder, n,‘oar, rudder,’ from the equiv. MidHG. ruoder, OHG. ruodar, n.; corresponding to the equiv. Du. roer, AS. rôþer, E. rudder (Goth. *rôþr, n., ‘oar,’ is by chance not recorded); in OIc. with a different suffix rœðe, n., ‘oar,’ while róðr, m., signifies ‘rowing.’ Goth. *rô-þra-, ‘oar,’ belongs to AS. rôwan, str. vb., E. to row, OIc. róa, Du. roeijen, MidHG. rüejen, ruon, all of which signify ‘to row.’ The Teut. ​root rô appears with the same meaning in the other Aryan languages, as rô, rē̆, er, ar; comp. OIr. rám, Lat. rê-mus, ‘oar’ (ratis, ‘raft’), Gr. ἐ-ρέ-της, ‘rower,’ τρι-ήρης, ‘trireme’; ἐρετμός, ‘oar,’ Sans. arítra-s, ‘oar’; also the Aryan root rê, ‘to push,’ in OSlov. rinąti, rějati, ‘to push,’ Sans. ar, ‘to drive.’ Moreover, E. oar, from AS. âr (OIc. âr) is the relic of another OTeut. term (whence Finn. airo, ‘oar’).

# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Ruhe

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Ruhe | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Ruhe, f., ‘rest, repose, calm, peace,’ from the equiv. MidHG. ruowe, OHG. ruowa, f. (also MidHG. râwe, OHG. râwa, in the same sense); comp. OIc. ró, AS. rôw, f., ‘rest.’ Goth. *rôwa (with the graded form *rêwa) corresponds exactly to Gr. ἐ-ρωή, ‘desisting, ceasing, rest,’ from Aryan rôwâ; the root rô contained in these words is probably allied to ra- in ModHG. Rast; yet the East MidG. Ruge used by Luther presents a difficulty. —
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Ruhm

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Ruhm | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Ruhm, m., ‘fame, celebrity; rumour,’ from MidHG. ruom (ruon), m., ‘fame, honour, praise,’ OHG. ruon, earlier hruom, m.; comp. OSax. hrôm, m., ‘fame,’ Du. roem. From the root hrô are derived, with a different suffix, the equiv. OIc. hróðr, m., AS. hrêþ, m., OHG. hruod-, ruod-, in compounds like Rudolf, Robert, &c.; also Goth. hrôþeigs, ‘victorious.’ The Teut. root hrô is based on Aryan kar, krā̆, to which Sans. kir, ‘to commend,’ and kîrtí, ‘fame,’ are allied.

​ Spund, m., ‘bung, bunghole, channel,’ from MidHG. spunt (gen. spuntes), m., ​‘bunghole, valve in the tube of a pump.’ The persistent t of the MidHG. inflected form points of itself to the foreign origin of the term, and still more so the MidHG. variants punct and pfunt, as well as ModHG. (dial.) Punt and Bunde (as to the period when the word was borrowed, comp. Wein). Du. spon, spun, ‘bung,’ and Fr. bonde, ‘sluice, plug,’ bondon, ‘bung,’ are corresponding terms, derived from the MidHG. words, which are based on Lat. puncta, ‘prick, puncture, opening made inn pipe.’ With regard to the s of MidHG. spunt, comp.
