  "etymology_text": "An alteration of daddy, popularized by American rapper Ty Dolla Sign's 2016 song by this name. The origin of the z- is unclear; it may represent the idea of being \"the ultimate daddy\" as z is the last letter of the alphabet, or it may have been formed by assibilation of the /d/ phoneme preceding /æ/ in the first syllable noted in Hispanic populations of New York and Miami, the latter being the origin of the girl subject of Ty's song.",
