(deprecated template usage)

From (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Balto-Slavic *deng-. The original meaning of "dress, cover" is preferable to Mažiulis's suggestion of "bend" (cf.dangà) in view of Ukrainian одягти́ (odjahtý, put on, wear),[1] Old High German tungen (oppress, manure), Proto-Germanic *dungō (manure, dung). Ultimately from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Indo-European *dʰengʰ-, *dʰn̥gʰ- (cover, conceal); see also dangà (arc)
