Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Originating in the late 19th century from golf terminology, 'dormie' (or 'dormy') likely derives from the French word 'dormir' (to sleep), signifying a state of being secure or asleep because a player is as many holes ahead as there are holes remaining to be played. Over time, it transitioned into general sports slang and a specific golf status descriptor.
