dogsbodyn.

Brit.

/ˈdɒɡzbɒdi/, U.S.

/ˈdɔɡzˌbɑdi/,

/ˈdɑɡzˌbɑdi/

Forms: 1800s– dogsbody, 1800s– dog's body.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: dog n.¹, body n.

Etymology: < the genitive of dog n.¹ + body n. The metaphor is unclear in sense 1: perhaps with reference to the shape of the pudding when in the cloth; or perhaps with allusion to a dog' s meal as jumbled or messy (compare dog's dinner n. at dog n.¹ Compounds 3d), although this would not explain the second element. The naval context of sense 2a suggests that it is a development from sense 1, perhaps reflecting partial reanalysis as showing body n. III., and probably also the negative connotations of dog n.¹ 5a. Sense 2b probably developed from 2a (the use by T. E. Lawrence in quot. 1922 supports the assumption of an origin in military slang).

1. Nautical slang. Peas boiled in a cloth; = pease pudding n. Also: sea biscuits softened in water, with sugar added. Now historical.
