Etymology of DIVEDAPPER

The word "dive" comes from the Old English word "dyfan" or "dubban" which means "to dip" or "immerse". The word "dip" is related to "dive" and evolved from the Old English word "dyppan".

The term "dapper" comes from the Middle Dutch word "dapper" which means "quick" or "nimble". It entered the English language around the 16th century and originally referred to someone who was neat, stylish, or spruce in appearance.
