Doggeries

/ˈdɒɡərɪz/ noun

Definition

Plural of doggery; places or collections of doggerel, or instances of behaving like a dog.

Etymology

From doggery (the quality or act of being dog-like, or a place associated with dogs) plus the standard English plural -ies.

Kelly Says

The suffix -ery can mean 'a place where something happens' (like 'bakery' for bread) or 'the quality of something' (like 'trickery'), so 'doggeries' could mean both dog-filled places AND dog-like behaviors!
