doitn.

Brit.

/dɔɪt/, U.S.

/dɔɪt/

Forms: Also 1600s doite, doyt.

Etymology: < early modern Dutch duit (in Middle Dutch also duyt, deuyt, doyt, deyt), whence also German deut. Of uncertain derivation. Kluge and Franck identify it with Norse þveit piece cut off, small piece of land, a unit of weight, a small coin, < þvíta to cut.

a. A small Dutch coin formerly in use, the eighth part of a stiver, or the half of an English farthing; hence (chiefly in negative phrases) as the type of a very small or trifling sum. (Cf. denier n.³)Also called doitkin or dodkin n.; it had illegal currency in England in the 15th cent. It was probably originally of silver, and afterwards of base silver; finally it was of copper.
