<注釋>Perhaps a desire to see history repeat itself has been at work in the case of an etymology suggested for the verbdicker, first recorded in 802with reference to horse trading and the haggling that accompanies it.In a work published in 848James Fenimore Cooper used the word with reference to frontier trade.This use would support a connection with the noundicker, which denotes a quantity of ten and was a common unit used in trading hides or furs. If the verbdicker originated in the fur trade, a parallel would exist with the noundicker. The noun may have come into the Germanic languages and hence to English by way of trade or tribute in furs between the Germanic peoples and the Roman Empire, with the Germanic word coming from the Latin worddecuria, .a group of ten men,. which in Late Latin was used as a measure of skins. The difficulty with this parallel isthat no existing evidence proves conclusively the derivation of the verbdicker from the noun dicker.
關於對動詞dicker 提出的詞源問題，也許是想看看歷史重演的一種欲望在起作用， 此單詞第一次記載是在802年，同馬匹交易和與之伴隨的價格爭論有關。在848年出版的一本著作中，詹姆斯·費尼莫爾·庫珀根據邊境貿易使用了這個詞。這種使用將會支持與名詞dicker 代表數量.十.並用於皮毛交易的聯繫。 如果動詞dicker 起源於毛皮生意， 那么便會與名詞dicker 一起並行存在。 該名詞也許是隨著來自於拉丁語decuria .十人一組.的日耳曼語單詞一起（在拉丁語中它被用作皮革的計量單位），通過日耳曼人和羅馬帝國之間毛皮交易或進貢的途徑進入日耳曼語中，而從此以後進入英文中。 但是對於這種並行的困難是，沒有現成的證據確鑿地證明動詞dicker 是從名詞 dicker 中衍生來的
