单词 doge
释义

dogen.

Brit. /dəʊ(d)ʒ/, U.S. /doʊʒ/
Forms:

α. 1500s– doge, 1600s dodge.

β. 1600s dogue.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Italian. Etymons: French doge; Italian doge.
Etymology: < Middle French doge (1552, in an example referring to Genoa; a1487 as douze ) and its etymon Italian regional (Venice) doge (13th cent.; 1339 denoting the doge of Genoa) < classical Latin duc- , dux dux n. Compare Italian duce (14th cent.; 13th cent. as duse ; compare Duce n.).Quot. 1549 at sense 1 probably reflects the Italian (disyllabic) form, rather than the French (monosyllabic) form; the same may be true of some other early examples. The β. forms apparently reflect a variant with /ɡ/.
1. The title given to the holder of the highest civil office of the republic of Venice from the 7th cent. until the Napoleonic conquest of 1797, and to an analogous magistrate in the republic of Genoa from the 14th cent. till 1797. Now historical.
