† doddardn.

Etymology: apparently < dod v.¹ to poll (trees) + -ard suffix; the formation being parallel to poll-ard : compare doddle n.¹, dodderel n. in same sense. But it may have been merely a modification of dottard , dotard adj.² and n.² (found earlier in same sense) with fanciful assimilation to dod v.¹ and its derivatives: see doddered adj.

Obsolete. rare.

A tree that has lost its head of branches by decay. In quot. 1693 attributive = dotard adj.²
