dungi

Esperanto

Etymology

Likely from archaic German dingen (“to engage, employ”), ultimately from Proto-Germanic *þingōną (“to hold a meeting, discuss, speak for or of”); compare Dutch dingen (“to solicit”), rare English thing (“to reify”, verb), Old Norse þinga (“to hold a meeting”) (see there for further descendants). Perhaps altered to differentiate from dingo (“dingo”).
