History
Etymology
From Middle English tod, of unknown origin. Possibly influenced by Etymology 2, due to its bushy tail.
Late Middle English, of uncertain origin, but possibly from the same source as German Zotte (“clotted hair”), which see. Also cognate with Saterland Frisian todde (“bundle”), Swedish todd (“mass (of wool)”, dialectal).
