Etymology 1

Cognates include Lithuanian dùgnas (“bottom”), Latvian dubens (“bottom”), German Tief (“deep”) and English deep. Transposition from Proto-Indo-European *bʰewdʰ- to *dʰewbʰ- is also possible. Cognates derived from *bʰewdʰ- include German Boden, Latin fundus (compare Czech fond), Ancient Greek πυθμήν (puthmḗn), Old Armenian բուն (bun), Sanskrit बुध्न (budhna) (all meaning "bottom", "base").
