From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Dodge \Dodge\, v. i. [imp. & p. p. {Dodged}; p. pr. & vb. n.
      {Dodging}.] [Of uncertain origin: cf. dodder, v., daddle,
      dade, or dog, v. t.]
      1. To start suddenly aside, as to avoid a blow or a missile;
            to shift place by a sudden start. --Milton.
  
      2. To evade a duty by low craft; to practice mean shifts; to
            use tricky devices; to play fast and loose; to quibble.
  
                     Some dodging casuist with more craft than sincerity.
                                                                              --Milton.
