What language did the word dunk come from?

The word "dunk" has an uncertain origin. It is likely of Dutch origin, possibly derived from the word "dünken", meaning "to dip" or "to plunge".

However, there is no definitive proof of this connection. The word could also have originated from other Germanic languages, such as Old English or Middle English.

While the exact origins are debated, it is clear that the word "dunk" has been used in English for centuries to describe the act of submerging something in liquid.
