Origin:
The word "dory" originates from the Ancient Greek word δῶρον (dōron), which originally referred to a gift or present given to a god or goddess. Over time, the meaning of the word expanded to include any valuable or desirable object.
In the 16th century, the word "dory" was borrowed into English from French, where it had been used to refer to a small fishing boat. This is likely because the early fishing boats were often given as gifts to fishermen.
Today, the word "dory" is still used to refer to a small fishing boat, typically one that is rowed or sailed. It is also used figuratively to refer to something that is valuable or desirable, such as a "dory of information."
