Nguồn gốc từ
From Middle English dowle, dule, of uncertain origin. Perhaps from Old French doelle (the hollow part of a tool where the handle is), from *duli (hollow tube, pipe), from Proto-Germanic *dulją (pipe), from Proto-Indo-European *dʰel- (curvature, hollow). If so, then cognate with douelle, douille.
