Dada refer to the dictionary is:

[French dada, hobbyhorse, Dada, of baby-talk origin.]
How the dadaism got it's name? The dadaism got it name from a paper knife inserted into a French-German dictionary pointed to the French word dada
(“hobby-horse”), it was seized upon by the group as appropriate for
their anti-aesthetic creations and protest activities, which were
engendered by disgust for bourgeois values and despair over World War I. Dada did not constitute an actual artistic style, but its proponents
favoured group collaboration, spontaneity, and chance. In the desire to
reject traditional modes of artistic creation, many Dadaists worked in
collage, photomontage, and found-object construction, rather than in
painting and sculpture.
