Notes on usage and etymology. As a verb, the term is comparable to the verb "to
pound." It is also somewhat similar in its connotations to the phrase "to do the job (on)," as used in Mario Puzo's novel "The Godfather" (1969), where it is used both as a sexual euphemism and as a phrase denoting a "hit."
One theory traces the word "dunnish" from the German "Donnerschmied," meaning "thundersmith"; presumably, this was converted into
English as "dunnishment," and the verb "to dunnish" was the result of a back-formation. More likely, however, "dunnish" is a portmanteau word, combining the
words "done" and "punish," or possibly "done" and "finish."
