DOFF, verb transitive 1. To put off, as dress. And made us doff our easy robes of peace. 2. To strip or divest; as, he doffs himself. 3. To put or thrust away; to get rid of. To doff their dire distresses. 4. To put off; to shift off; with a view to delay. Every day thou doffst me with some device. [This word is, I believe, entirely obsolete in discourse, at least in the United States, but is retained in poetry.]
