Where this word comes from

From Middle Dutch *daven, further etymology uncertain. May be related to Old Saxon dovon, Old High German tobēn, but the vowel a is irregular in this case. It is found in Middle Low German daven, where it may be regular, which makes it a possible Middle Low German borrowing.
