Etymology

From Old Norse dyngja. the word most likely meant at first a hand dug soft sloping hole, but later came to mean what was the content of such hole as they were dug under the outhouse, the word dungeon similarly usually attributed to an unrecorder latin term may well have been borrowed out of germanic frankish. the finnish -tunkio is similarly borrowed meaning a pile of rubbish.
