"etymology_text": "Borrowed from Scots dandy (“a fop; one who is well-dressed”). Of uncertain origin.\nPossibly from Dandy, a diminutive of Andrew, yet the Scots word is used also in reference to women. Alternatively, possibly a back-formation of Scots dandilly, dandillie (“one who is spoiled or pampered; a \"pet\"”). Compare English dandle and dander.",

"etymology_text": "Borrowed from Scots dandy (“a fop; one who is well-dressed”). Of uncertain origin.\nPossibly from Dandy, a diminutive of Andrew, yet the Scots word is used also in reference to women. Alternatively, possibly a back-formation of Scots dandilly, dandillie (“one who is spoiled or pampered; a \"pet\"”). Compare English dandle and dander.",

"etymology_text": "Borrowed from Scots dandy (“a fop; one who is well-dressed”). Of uncertain origin.\nPossibly from Dandy, a diminutive of Andrew, yet the Scots word is used also in reference to women. Alternatively, possibly a back-formation of Scots dandilly, dandillie (“one who is spoiled or pampered; a \"pet\"”). Compare English dandle and dander.",
