单词 daut
释义

dautdawtv.

Brit. /dɔːt/, U.S. /dɔt/, /dɑt/, Scottish English /dɔt/
Forms: Also 1500s–1700s date.
Etymology: Etymology unknown. If daut , dawt , is, as it appears to be, the proper form, it ought to represent an original dalt : compare Scots faut , maut , saut , etc.; but the two 16–17th cent. examples of date from Scottish writers of English make even this doubtful. Dalt suggests Gaelic dalta foster-child; but, though the word appears to be exclusively Scotch, there is no evidence pointing to a Gaelic origin. Connection with dote v.1, doat is excluded by the fact that Scots au , aw , does not answer to English ō from any source. Compare also daunt v. 6.
Scottish.
transitive. To pet, fondle, caress, make much of. Also absol.
