Source etymology 1
Original entry ↗A hanging end or shred, in particular a long pointed strip of cloth at the edge of a piece of clothing, or one of a row of decorative strips of cloth that may ornament a tent, booth or fairground. · A dangling lock of sheep’s wool matted with dung.
To shear the hindquarters of a sheep in order to remove dags or prevent their formation. · To cut or slash the edge of a garment into dags · To sully; to make dirty; to bemire.
From Middle English dagge, of uncertain (probably Germanic) origin, cognate with Middle Dutch dag, dagge, dagh (modern Dutch dag, dagge). Compare French dague (“spiked end of a whipping rope”). The sense “dangling lock of wool, matted with dung” (originally from the dialect of Kent) is also termed daglock (derived from the “hanging end” sense of dag) or daggle-lock and some sources consider the sense a shortening of that longer word rather than a mere evolution of the “hanging end” sense.
