Etymology

[ dig ] (verb.) 13th century. Middle English diggen "to dig", alteration (possibly due to Danish dige) of Old English dīcian "to dig a ditch, to mound up earth" (compare Old English dīcere "digger") from dīc, dīċ "dike, ditch" from Proto-Germanic *dīkaz, *dīkian (“pool, puddle”) from Proto-Indo-European *dhīgw-, *dheigw- (“to stab, dig”). Akin to Danish dige "to dig, raise a dike", Swedish dika "to dig ditches". Related to, but not derived from Middle French diguer "to dig", itself a borrowing of the same Germanic root (Middle Dutch dijk), as the Middle French word appears later than the Middle English word. More at ditch, dike.
