duntv.¹

/dʌnt/, Irish English

/dʌnt/

Forms: Middle English dunt; Scottish pre-1700 dont, pre-1700 dwnt, pre-1700 1700s– dunt.

Origin: Apparently a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymon: dint v.

Etymology: Apparently a northern and Scots variant or alteration of dint v., perhaps intended to express a duller sound. Compare earlier dunch v. Compare later dunt n.¹Perhaps compare Swedish regional dunta , to strike, to slap someone's back. Quot. a1400 at sense 1a is from a northern manuscript. By contrast, the Middle English forms dunt and dont (in the same sense) in west midland and south-western sources imply a mid to high front rounded vowel (the regular reflex in this region of Old English y ) and hence show dint v. rather than dunt v.¹ (compare forms at dint n.).

Chiefly Scottish and Irish English (northern).

1. To strike, knock, or bump against someone or something, esp. in a way that produces a dull sound.

a. transitive. Also with adverbs, as out, about.In modern use sometimes overlapping with more specific senses of dunch; compare, e.g., quots. 1823, 1916 with dunch v. 2.
