- O.E. docga, a late, rare word used of a powerful breed of canine. It forced out O.E. hund (the general Gmc. word) by 16c. and subsequently was picked up in many continental languages, but the origin remains one of the great mysteries of English etymology. Slang meaning "ugly woman" is from 1930s; that of "sexually aggressive man" is from 1950s. The verb meaning "to track like a dog" is from 1519. Dog tag is from 1918. Dog-gone (1851) is Amer.Eng., "fantastic perversion of god-damned" [Weekley]. Dogs "feet" is 1913, from rhyming slang dog's meat. To dog-ear a book is from 1659; dog-eared in extended sense of "worn, unkempt" is from 1894. Dogfight "aerial combat" is World War I air forces slang, from earlier meaning "riotous brawl" (1880s). Many expressions -- a dog's life (1607), go to the dogs (1864), etc. -- reflect earlier hard use of the animals as hunting accessories, not pampered pets. Dogfish is first recorded 1475; dogwood is 1617, earlier dog-tree (1548). In ancient times, "the dog" was the worst throw in dice (attested in Gk., L., and Skt., where the word for "the lucky player" was lit. "the dog-killer"), which plausibly explains the Gk. word for "danger," kindynas, which appears to be "play the dog." ...Английский Этимологический словарь
