Where this word comes from
Initialism of Philippine Hokkien 大陸仔 /大陆仔 (tāi-lio̍k-á, “mainlander”), which is often perceived as "Tai Diok Ka" or "Tai Diok A", due to /l~d/ allophony usually preceding an /i/ vowel and the concept of forming initialisms from the consonant-sounding phonemes that syllables seemingly sound like they start with due to syllable assimilation in Hokkien. See also Taiwanese Mandarin 26.
