The origin is not certain. It possibly comes from a dialect word doddle, "to toddle, to sway, to nod drowsily" — the picture being that the job is so easy you could do it while wandering along. Treat that as a "possibly," not a fact.

The origin這個字的來源 is not certain不確定。It possibly comes from它可能來自 a dialect word doddle方言字doddle, "to toddle, to sway, to nod drowsily"『to toddle, to sway, to nod drowsily』意思是搖搖晃晃地走、擺動、昏昏欲睡地點頭 — the picture being that背後的畫面是 the job is so easy這件事簡單到 you could do it while wandering along你可以邊晃邊做完。Treat that as a "possibly,"把這當成『possibly』就好, not a fact而不是事實。
