this word, which usually has the meaning Butch or Lesbian, encloses its secret in the etymology that some authors note. Apparently, it derived from the slang of the late 19th century, “dike” which meant “dress formal or elegant way. Dyke appeared first with expressions bulldyker, bulldyke, bull-dyking woman, and then became an independent word with the same meaning, and would be used to insult masculine lesbian.
