From Scottish and Northern English dialect, possibly related to Dutch 'dop' (cup) or Low German origins. Regional terms often preserve older Germanic roots.
Dialectal words like 'dowp' show how English fractured into regional varieties with completely different words for the same things. Scottish English is preserving medieval vocabulary that vanished from standard English.
