Doesn

/ˈdʌzən/ verb (nonstandard)

A nonstandard or dialectal variant attempting to represent 'does not,' though 'doesn't' is the correct modern contraction.

Similar to 'didn,' this represents a failed or incomplete contraction of 'does' and 'not'; the standard form 'doesn't' won out in modern English through standardization and prescriptive grammar.
