Etymology
From Middle High German doste, from Old High German dost, dosto (“origanum; tuft”). Further origin unknown. According to Pokorny, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *tewh₂- (“to swell”), see also Norwegian tust (“tuft”), Proto-Germanic *þūmô (“thumb”). Compare Middle Low German doste (either cognate or from the High German).
