Etymology

Borrowed from Dravidian, whence Telugu దబ్బు (dabbu, “to cover”).[1] Per Turner, to be separated from *𑀤𑁆𑀭𑀧𑁆𑀧𑀇 (*drappaï, “presses”) and Sanskrit दृप् (dṛp) though he suggests that these roots may have collided with each other.[2]

Verb

*𑀤𑀩𑁆𑀩𑀇 (*dabbaï) (Devanagari *दब्बइ) [1]

  1. to press
