Where this word comes from
From Middle High German tuft, from Old High German duft, thuft, from Proto-Indo-European *dʰewbʰ- (“to whisk, be obscured”) (DWDS); cognate with Danish duft (“fragrance”) and possibly Ancient Greek τῠφλός (tŭphlós, “blind”). The Middle High German t- is an irregular hardening (compare tausend) that was undone in modern German.
