dough 
O.E. dag "dough," from P.Gmc. *daigaz "something kneaded," from PIE *dheigh- "mould, form, knead" (cf. Skt. dehah "body," lit. "that which is formed," dih- "to besmear;" Gk. teikhos "wall"). Meaning "money" is from 1851. Doughface was the contemptuous nickname in U.S. politics for Northern Democrats who worked in the interest of the South before the Civil War; it was taken to mean "man who allows himself to be moulded." But the source, in an 1820 speech by John Randolph of Roanoke, perhaps meant doe as an animal afraid of its own reflection ["They were scared at their own dough faces"].
