Doitrified

/ˌdɔɪˈtrɪfaɪd/ adjective

Definition

Made worthless or converted into something of little value; possibly an archaic or humorous term.

Etymology

Speculative etymology: 'doit' combined with '-trified' or a misremembering/variant of 'doted' or 'daftified.' This appears to be a rare or possibly fabricated word; etymology is highly uncertain.

Kelly Says

This word is so obscure that it's possibly either a very regional dialect word, a literary invention, or a word that appeared once in an old text and was never used again. English has thousands of 'ghost words'—words that got recorded in the dictionary by accident and never actually existed in use.
