dawdlev.

/ˈdɔːd(ə)l/

Forms: Also daudle.

Etymology: Not in Bailey; nor in Johnson's Dict. (though used by himself in 1781). It apparently became common about 1775 (at first chiefly in feminine use). Ussher's example (a1656) was probably local or dialectal. Supposed to be a local variant of daddle v.¹, but used in a more reprehensory sense, perhaps by some association with daw n. 2b.

1. intransitive. To idle, waste time; to be sluggish or lazy; to loiter, linger, dally.
