Etymology

From (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Middle High German tunc, tunge, from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Old High German tung, tunga, from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Germanic *dungō, from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Indo-European *dhengh- (“to cover”). The word also meant in High German—and it seems exclusively in Low German (compare Old Saxon dung)—a dwelling or storage room (originally under the earth and covered with dung). The modern consontantism is of regional origin (see düngen). Cognate to English dung.
