Etymology
Etymology 1
First attested in 1859. Unknown, but may come from the Mason-Dixon line, the boundary between the northern states and the southern states, or from the slang term dixie for a Louisiana $10 bill (equivalent to English tenner), in turn from French dix (ten).
Etymology 2
From Hindi देगची (degcī, “a kettle, a metallic cooking pot”), from Classical Persian دیگچه (degča, “a pot, small cauldron”), from دیگ (deg, “pot”) + ـچه (-ča).
