Etymology: "Dunders" is the plural of "dunder," a blend of "double" and the start of "under" from "underscore," the name of the low-line character typed as "__". The blend joins the doubled shape of that symbol to its underlined look. The Spanish verb "redundar," meaning "to overflow," is cited as a point of comparison, which shows a similar sound and shape in another language rather than a confirmed source. The plural noun, "dunders," refers to foolish, clumsy people.

Synonyms: fools, dullards
