The word "dunker" originated in Old English as duncoran, meaning "to plunge or dip into water." It is derived from the Proto-Germanic root duncaren, which is composed of two elements:
The Proto-Germanic root can be traced back to the Proto-Indo-European (PIE) root *dʰunk-, which also means "to plunge" or "to dip." This root is found in many other Indo-European languages, including Sanskrit, Greek, and Latin.
The use of the word "dunker" in the sense of "to be overwhelmed or defeated" is a later development. This usage likely arose from the physical sensation of being submerged or overwhelmed by water. Figuratively, the term is used to describe the feeling of being overwhelmed by emotions or difficulties.
