dandlev.

/ˈdand(ə)l/

Forms: Also 1500s dandil(l, -yll.

Etymology: Not known before 16th cent. To be compared with Italian dandola, variant of dondola, ‘a childes baby [= doll]; also a dandling’; dandolare, variant of dondolare, ‘to dandle the baby’ (Florio), to swing, toss, shake to and fro; dally, loiter, idle, play, sport, toy. But actual evidence of the derivation of the English word from the Italian has not been found. Another suggestion is that the word may be cognate with German tändeln (intransitive) ‘to dawdle, toy, trifle, dally, play, dandle’, diminutive of Middle High German tänden to make sport (with), play; but no word of this family is known in Old or Middle English, and the sense is not so close to the English as in the Italian word.

a. transitive. To move (a child, etc.) lightly up and down in the arms or on the knee. Also figurative.
