Scottish dialect: a small child or infant; a little one or tot (variant of 'daut' meaning to pet or fondle).
From Scottish 'daut' (to pet, fondle, caress) related to Old Norse 'datta' (to caress). The '-it' suffix may diminish or indicate endearment. Preserved in Scottish nursery vocabulary.
This word combines a verb for petting with a diminutive suffix—so 'daudit' literally means 'a little petted one,' which is exactly how parents talk about their toddlers!
