cuddyn.3

Brit. /ˈkʌdi/, U.S. /ˈkədi/, Scottish English /ˈkʌdɪ/
Forms: Also cuddie.
Etymology: Of uncertain derivation: the senses here grouped may be distinct in origin: sense 2 is perhaps from Gaelic. In sense 1, a word of the same homely status in Scotch as donkey is in English, for which written evidence begins only in the 18th cent. It has been plausibly conjectured to be the same word as Cuddy, a familiar diminutive of Cuthbert in some parts of the north. Compare the analogous application of Neddy, Dicky, to an ass; but unlike these, cuddy has, now at least, no conscious connection with the proper name, being, like donkey, simply a common noun. The Gypsy origin conjectured by Jamieson has no basis in fact; there is no name for the donkey common to the Rommany dialects, and the Scottish Gypsy term is eizel from German.
Chiefly Scottish.
