døbe
Danish
Etymology
From Old Norse deypa (“to dip in water, baptize”), inherited from Proto-Germanic *daupijaną (“to dip”), cognate with Gothic 𐌳𐌰𐌿𐍀𐌾𐌰𐌽 (daupjan, “immerse, baptize”), likely originally a causative of Proto-Germanic *dūbaną (“to dive, sink”). Compare also Danish dyppe (“to dip”), a later borrowing from Low German düppen.
