dösig

== German == === Etymology === From German Low German dösig, from Middle Low German dȫsich, from Old Saxon *dosig, *dusig, from Proto-West Germanic *dusīg (“stunned, dazed, giddy”), cognate with English dizzy. The Low German and Middle Low German words mean only “dazed, dizzy, dumb/stupid”, so it is certain that the German word also comprehends new formation from related dösen (“to doze, daydream”) +‎ -ig. Related also to dusselig and English doze, dozy. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈdøːzɪç/ (standard) IPA(key): /ˈdøːzɪk/ (common form in southern Germany, Austria, and Switzerland) Hyphenation: dö‧sig === Adjective === dösig (strong nominative masculine singular dösiger, comparative dösiger, superlative am dösigsten) sleepy not concentrated stupid ==== Declension ==== ==== Related terms ==== dösen Döskopp Döspaddel rammdösig
