An archaic or rare term referring to the quality or state of being a 'doss' or rough sleeping place.
From 'doss' with the suffix '-ety' (state of being). This is an extremely rare word, appearing primarily in historical texts about 19th-century homelessness and housing conditions.
Words like 'dossety' are linguistic ghosts—they appeared briefly in Victorian-era writing about social problems, then disappeared as terminology changed, but they preserve forgotten perspectives on homelessness!
