    [Noun]  | "deuce" | \ ˈdüs \


    1: the face of a die that bears two spots

    2: a playing card bearing an index number two

    3: a throw of the dice yielding two points

    Origin: 15th century ;

     Middle English dwsse, dews, dewes, borrowed from Anglo-French deus "two" (continental Old French dous, masculine accusative), going back to Latin duōs, accusative of duo; (sense 3) perhaps of independent origin; (sense 4) probably alluding to {see: |number two|number two} {mat|two:1|};

      * Note : In expressions such as "a deuce on him," "a deuce take me," current from the 1650's, deuce is clearly a euphemism for "devil." The reason for the choice of deuce rather than another word has inspired several explanations, none entirely satisfactory. The editors of the Oxford English Dictionary, first edition, apparently following an article by A. L. Mayhew (The Academy, vol. 41, no. 1030, January 30, 1892, pp. 11-12) propose that deuce was borrowed from Low German duus in the same sense: "compare German daus, Low German duus, used in precisely the same way, in the exclamatory der daus! was der daus …! Low German de duus! wat de duus!" A Low German source is not specified by the editors, but Daus is entered in Grimm's Deutsches Wörterbuch with the meaning "deuce" in cards and dice, and as a euphemism for "devil" (Teufel, Low German Düvel). The parallel with English deuce is noted, but there is no suggestion that the English word was borrowed from German. This is indeed a weakness of Mayhew's hypothesis: the parallelism connecting the two languages does not necessarily imply borrowing of the word itself, and borrowing would not in any case explain why in particular duus/daus developed a secondary meaning.;

    1: a coin of the U.S. worth 1/10 dollar

    2: a petty sum of money

    3: a Canadian 10-cent piece

    1: to draw or pull slowly or heavily : haul

    2: to cause to move with slowness or difficulty

    3: to cause to trail along a surface

    Origin: 15th century ;

     Middle English draggen "to pull, draw, transport," of uncertain origin;

      * Note : This verb has obvious semantic affinity with Old English dragan "to {draw:1|draw:1}," but there is no evident explanation for /g/ and the short vowel; borrowing from Old Norse (compare Old Icelandic draga "to drag, pull") would also not result in a preserved /g/. Compare {drag:2|drag:2}.;
