Dutchadj.n.1adv.

Brit. /dʌtʃ/, U.S. /dətʃ/
Forms: Also (Middle English duchyssche, Middle English duysshe), Middle English–1600s duch(e, 1500s dou(t)che, dowche, duitch, dutche.
Etymology: < Middle Dutch dutsch, duutsch, duutsc, ‘Hollandish, or, in a wider sense, Netherlandish, and even German’ (Verdam), in early modern Dutch duytsch, now duitsch, ‘German’, = German deutsch, Middle High German diutsch, ‘German’, Old High German diutisc, popular, vulgar. Old High German diutisc , Old Saxon thiudisc , Old English þéodisc , Gothic *þiudisks < Old Germanic *þeudisko-z , meant ‘popular, national’, < Old Germanic *þeudâ- , Gothic þiuda , Old Norse þjóð , Old Saxon thioda , thiod , Old English þéod (Middle English thede n.), Old High German diota, diot, people, nation. In Germany, the adjective was used (in the 9th cent.) as a rendering of Latin vulgaris, to distinguish the ‘vulgar tongue’ from the Latin of the church and the learned; hence it gradually came to be the current denomination of the vernacular, applicable alike to any particular dialect, and generically to German as a whole. From the language, it was naturally extended to those who spoke it (compare English), and thus grew to be an ethnic or national adjective; whence also, in the 12th or 13th centuries, arose the name of the country, Diutisklant, now Deutschland, = Germany. In the 15th and 16th centuries ‘Dutch’ was used in England in the general sense in which we now use ‘German’, and in this sense it included the language and people of the Netherlands as part of the ‘Low Dutch’ or Low German domain. After the United Provinces became an independent state, using the ‘Nederduytsch’ or Low German of Holland as the national language, the term ‘Dutch’ was gradually restricted in England to the Netherlanders, as being the particular division of the ‘Dutch’ or Germans with whom the English came in contact in the 17th cent.; while in Holland itself duitsch, and in Germany deutsch, are, in their ordinary use, restricted to the language and dialects of Germany and of adjacent regions, exclusive of the Netherlands and Friesland; though in a wider sense ‘deutsch’ includes these also, and may even be used as widely as ‘Germanic’. Thus the English use of Dutch has diverged from the German and Netherlandish use since 1600.
