köken: Uncertain. First attested in the mid-15th century in Upper German texts as Dolch, then also Dollich, Tolch. At first mostly with weak declension (dem Dolchen).

köken: Learned borrowing from Ancient Greek ἐγχειρίδιον (enkheirídion, “handbook, dagger”); if inherited, the expected form would be *χειρίδι (*cheirídi), *χρίδι (*chrídi).

köken: Inherited from Sauraseni Prakrit 𑀓𑀝𑁆𑀝𑀸𑀭𑀻 (kaṭṭārī), from a declined form of Sanskrit कर्त्तृ (karttṛ, “one that cuts off”). Cognate with Assamese কটাৰী (kotari), Marathi कट्यार (kaṭyār).
köken: tika- + -ri, perhaps a blend of two now obsolete words tikaveitsi and takari; ultimately thus perhaps a blend of Old Swedish stikämäz and Old Swedish [Term?] (compare dialectal Swedish daggare).
