Tümpel

German

Etymology

From Middle High German tümpfel, from Old High German tumphilo, from Proto-West Germanic *dumpil, from Proto-Germanic *dumpilaz, related to *deupaz (“deep”).

The regular Upper German form is Tümpfel, which is now obsolete in standard usage; the unshifted -p- is from Central German dialects. Cognate with English dimple.
