Etymology
From Old Danish duft (“powder”), Old Norse dupt n (“powder”), from Proto-Germanic *duftaz, cognate with Swedish doft (“powder”) and German Duft (“smell”), Middle High German tuft (“fog”). Semantically, the Danish word is influenced by the German word. The Germanic noun is derived from Proto-Indo-European *dʰewbʰ- (“to whisk, be obscured”), which is also found in Proto-Germanic *daubaz (“deaf”). See: Swedish Nouns '
doft', German Nouns '
Duft'.
