dive-dappern.

Forms: Also 1500s dive-doppel, 1500s–1600s dive-dopper.

Etymology: The form dive-doppel is apparently a diminutive of divedop, -dap; the form in -dapper , -dopper , is assimilated to agent-nouns in -er suffix¹.Previous versions of the OED give the stress as: ˈdive-dapper.

Obsolete exc. dialect.

a. A small diving waterfowl; a dabchick; = didapper n.; also applied to other diving water fowls.
