Brit. /ˈdɔɪtᵻd/, U.S. /ˈdɔɪdᵻd/, Scottish English /ˈdɔɪtᵻd/, Irish English /ˈdɒɪtəd/
Forms:

α. late Middle English doyted (northern), 1800s– doited (English regional (northern)); Scottish pre-1700 doyted, pre-1700 doytit, pre-1700 doytted, pre-1700 doyttit, pre-1700 doytyd, pre-1700 doytyt, pre-1700 1800s– doitit, 1700s doitet, 1700s– doited; Irish English (northern) 1900s– doited.

β. Scottish 1800s ditit, 1800s dytet, 1800s 2000s– dited, 1900s– dighted Brit. /ˈdʌɪtᵻd/, U.S. /ˈdaɪdᵻd/, Scottish English /ˈdʌitᵻd/, 2000s– dightit, 2000s– dyted, 2000s– dytit.

Origin: Apparently a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymon: doted adj.1
Etymology: Apparently a variant or alteration of doted adj.1, although the quality of the stem vowel (which is a true diphthong and not a digraphic representation of long ō ) is difficult to account for; perhaps after doiled adj. (although this is first attested slightly later). Compare the (later) β. forms at dote v.1
Scottish, Irish English (northern), and English regional (northern).
Foolish, crazy; having one's mental faculties impaired, esp. by old age.
