Etymology

From Proto-Albanian *duk-, from Proto-Indo-European *dewk- ‎(“to draw”), perhaps contaminated with Proto-Indo-European *teng- ‎(“to think, feel, know”). Compare Old High German dunhen ‎(“shine, appear, seem”) (German dünken ‎(“seem, think, consider oneself”)), Gothic þugkjan ‎(þugkjan, “to think, consider”), Swedish tycka ‎(“to seem, look like”) and perhaps Ancient Greek (Hom.) δοκέω ‎(dokéō, “think, suppose, seem”)^[1].
