A Scottish term for a small enclosure or shelter, particularly a pigsty or poultry house.
Possibly a diminutive form derived from 'dook' or related to Scottish words for enclosed spaces; may be connected to 'dug' (a dog), with '-et' as a diminutive suffix.
Scottish has a whole vocabulary of diminutives—adding '-et' or '-ie' to make things sound small and sometimes cute, so 'dooket' sounds both functional and endearing, like 'my little pigsty.'
