Where this word comes from
See doof. The noun is from Central Franconian dialects, especially Ripuarian ones, in which nominalized masculine adjectives are endingless, e.g. dä Aal (“the old man”), dä Kleen (“the little one”). This continues Middle High German -e, which was apocopated; in attributive position this form was then replaced with the accusative in -e(n), whereas in nominalization it was generalized to all cases. Doof is one of very few such forms that have entered local Standard German.
