[[Latin]]
ipa :/kaˈdaː.wer/[Etymology]
editFrom the Latin verb cadō (“I fall”), as a euphemism for dying, "the fallen one". This etymology is found as early as ca. 200 CE in the writings of Tertullian, who associated cadaver to cadendo : Atque adeo caro est quae morte subruitur, ut exinde a cadendo cadaver enuntietur. (Tertullian, De Resurrectione Carnis).A folk etymology derives cadaver syllabically from the Latin expression caro data vermibus (flesh given to worms). This etymology, more popular in Romance countries, can be traced back as early as the Schoolmen of the Middle Ages.
[Noun]
editcadāver n (genitive cadāveris); third declension
1.A corpse, cadaver, carcass

doodle
[[English]]
ipa :/ˈduː.dəl/[Etymology]
editInfluenced by dawdle, from German dudeln (“to play (the bagpipe)”), from dudel (“a bagpipe”), from Czech or Polish dudy (“a bagpipe”).The word doodle first appeared in the early 17th century to mean a fool or simpleton. German variants of the etymon include Dudeltopf, Dudentopf, Dudenkopf, Dude and Dödel. American English dude may be a derivation of doodle.The meaning "fool, simpleton" is intended in the song title "Yankee Doodle", originally sung by British colonial troops prior to the American Revolutionary War. This is also the origin of the early eighteenth century verb to doodle, meaning "to swindle or to make a fool of". The modern meaning emerged in the 1930s either from this meaning or from the verb "to dawdle", which since the seventeenth century has had the meaning of wasting time or being lazy.
[Noun]
editdoodle (plural doodles)
1.(obsolete) A fool, a simpleton, a mindless person.

5.A small mindless sketch, etc.
6.(slang, sometimes childish) Penis.
7.1993, Patti Walkuski, No Bed of Roses: Memoirs of a Madam, Wakefield Press (1993), ISBN 9781862543102, page 189:
His doodle hung as limp as last month's celery.
8.1996, Jane Bonander, Winter Heart, Pocket Star Books (1996), ISBN 9780671529826, page 43:
Her favorite had been when she'd convinced the lascivious guards that Dinah's red hair meant she was a witch, and if they molested her, their doodles would shrivel up between their legs and fall off. Daisy had assured her that no man would risk losing his doodle.
9.2011, Lexi George, Demon Hunting in Dixie, Brava Books (2011), ISBN 9780758263094, unnumbered page:
