{
  "etymology_number": 1,
  "etymology_text": "Apparently originally a derivative of dod (“to poll or take the top off (a tree)”). It is not clear whether it was a contaminated form of dodded (“polled”) or a mistaken spelling of doddard (“doddered oak” for “doddard oak”; cf. pollard willow), while the matter is complicated by the earlier use of dottard or dotard in the same sense. In later use there has been association with dodder (noun) and perhaps with dodder (verb) and its cognates.",
