词源

Uncertain; Yaron Matras includes the term in his dictionary of Angloromani, connecting it to Romani dinilo (“a fool”) and Yiddish גולם (goylem, “a fool”). Alternatively, related to the older dialectal term doychle (“a stupid person”). Possibly also connected to doy (a disdainful indication that something is obvious).
