Origin

Partly from Middle French doge and partly from its etymon, Italian doge, from Venetan doxe

Partly from Middle French doge and partly from its etymon, Italian doge, from Venetan doxe, from Latin ducem, accusative of dux (“leader; commander; ruler”). Doublet of duc, duce, duke, and dux.

From dog, probably as a sensational spelling of doggy like monke. First attested in the 2005 episode "Biz Cas Fri 1" from Homestar Runner.
