Where the word comes from
From the noun "dumb" (unable to speak), which comes from Old English "dumb" meaning silent or mute, itself from Proto-Germanic "dumbaz."

By the 1700s, "dummy" had come to mean a figure or object shaped like a person, and later referred to a foolish person or a silent partner in card games.
