Origin

Mid 18th century (denoting a petticoat): each sense probably has different origins; perhaps partly from Dicky, pet form of the given name Richard.

The informal British word dicky, meaning ‘not strong, healthy, or functioning reliably’, dates from the late 18th century, when it had the sense ‘almost over’. The origin is not certain, but it may be from the given name Dick, in the old saying as queer as Dick's hatband. The pet form of Richard may also be behind dicky bird, a child's name for a bird. In not a dicky bird, ‘nothing at all’, it is rhyming slang for ‘word’.
