Sentences with DOUDO (3)
Herbert was the first who used the word dodo as the name of this bird, stating it to be derived from the Portuguese _doudo_, a simpleton; but as he is generally somewhat wild and vague in his etymologies, and as we have no intelligence whatever of the dodo through the Portuguese, we may safely conclude that the name is of Dutch derivation.
This bird also got its name from a word which meant "foolish." It comes from the Portuguese word _doudo_, which means "simpleton." We have a few verbs also taken from the names of animals and birds.
The meaning of _Doudo_ not being plain to the Dutch, they would, as is the habit of sailors, convert it into something they did understand.
