From (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Middle High German tougen, tugen, tügen, from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Old High German tugan (attested since the 9th century); from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Germanic *duganą, from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Indo-European *dʰewgʰ- (“to produce, to give milk”)[1]. Semantic evolution: "to produce, to give milk" > "to be useful, to be fitting, to avail".

Germanic Cognates include Old Saxon dugan, Dutch deugen (> Afrikaans deug), Old English dugan (obsolete Modern English dow), Old Norse duga (> Icelandic duga, Faroese duga, Norwegian duge, Swedish duga, Danish du) and Gothic 𐌳𐌿𐌲𐌰𐌽 (dugan). Related to German Tugend and tüchtig.
