Etymology
The term 'dottie' derives from a British colloquial expression and has roots in the late 19th century. It is thought to stem from the word 'dotty', which itself is believed to have originated from the phrase 'dotty-headed', implying a person who is a bit scatterbrained or silly. Over the years, 'dottie' has evolved and has been embraced in informal contexts, often used affectionately to describe whimsical or nonconformist behavior. The playful aspect of the word reflects a cultural acceptance of eccentricity and individualism, especially in English-speaking regions.
