Origin: Probably a borrowing from Scottish Gaelic. Etymon: Scottish Gaelic dubhad.

Etymology: Probably < Scottish Gaelic dubhad, reduced form of dubh-fhàd , literally ‘black sod, black turf’ (now only in the context of peat-cutting, denoting lowest, best-quality peat) < dubh black (see clabbydoo n.) + fàd, fòd piece of peat, sod used for thatching (Early Irish fót sod, of unknown origin). Compare the similarly-formed Scottish Gaelic feannad, fionn-fhàd surface peat, turf on top of peat, literally, ‘white turf’, and glasad, glas-fhàd, literally ‘green sod’, now denoting the living sods used as the top course of the wall of a black house, at the base of the thatch.In Scottish Gaelic, bh is pronounced as /v/ and fh is silent. In γ. and δ. forms perhaps influenced by folk-etymological association with divide v. (compare forms at that entry).

Originally Scottish.

a. A slice of earth with the grass growing upon it, a turf, a sod, such as are used in the north for roofing cottages, forming the edges of thatched roofs, the tops of dry-stone walls, etc.The thicker, more earthy sods used in building walls or dikes, are called fails; hence the common collocation fail and divot. The digging and throwing up of either is ‘casting’: see cast v. 28.
