Etymology

From Middle Persian dwm(b') (/⁠dum(b)⁠/), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *dewmbʰ- (“penis, tail, rod”); compare German Zumpf (“penis”).

Cognate with Avestan 𐬛𐬎𐬨𐬀 (duma, “penis”), Kurdish, Northern Kurdish dûv (“tail”), Baluchi دمب (domb), Sarikoli (δüm), Wakhi (dümbá), Pashto لم (lëm, “tail of sheep”), Ossetian дымӕг (dymæg), Sogdian dwnp'k (δum/nb/pe), Sanskrit दुम्बक (dumbaka, “the thick-tailed sheep”).

Akin to Old Armenian դմակ (dmak, “fat tail of sheep”), Georgian დუმაკი (dumaḳi), დუმა (duma), Iranian borrowings. Perhaps also cognate with Proto-Germanic *tuppaz (“top, summit”) (whence English top).

For the sense development compare Old Armenian ձետ (jet).
