DOFF, v.t. 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.]
