Origin: Of uncertain origin. Perhaps formed within English, by derivation. Perhaps a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymons: dud n.1, -oon suffix; huddroun adj.
Etymology: Origin uncertain. Perhaps (i) < dud n.1 (compare dud n.1 1b, although this is first attested later, and compare also later dud n.1 3) + -oon suffix, with arbitrary insertion of r ; or perhaps (ii) an alteration of huddroun adj. (although this is first attested later); both words were used by Dunbar (compare quot. ?a1513 here and quot. ?a15131 at huddroun adj.). Compare later poltroon n.
Chiefly Scottish. Obsolete.
Probably: a slovenly person; a person with shabby or ragged clothes.
