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."
