From Wiktionary, the free dictionary
From Middle High German dūs, from Old High German dūs, from Old French dous (“two”). Applied on a person possibly the same word, being most frequent in the interjection “Ei der Daus!”, stemming from the deuce, the highest card, being played, and hence having an ambiguous sense depending on the angle of view; however descendants of Latin deus (“god”) or dusius (“a kind of Gaulish demon”) might be in the game.
