Etymology 2

Origin uncertain:

• Perhaps the same as Etymology 1, above
• Perhaps from Welsh dygen (“anger, grudge”) (from dy- + cwyn (“complaint”)), though the OED rejects this.
• Possibly from dudgen (“trash, something worthless”).
• Possibly borrowed from Italian aduggiare (“to overshadow”), similar to the semantic development of umbrage.
