Stag's testicle. Possibly for food, but I'm not sure. It looks like it may be a "dictionary-only" word. --Type56op9 (talk) 15:22, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
- Looks to me like it's a Middle English variant of doucet < dulcet, and "dowcet mete" is attested in 1440 to mean sweetbread. But generally it looks like a synonym for "sweet". --Catsidhe (verba, facta) 20:20, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
- RFV-failed as English. Kept as Middle English per the comment above. - -sche (discuss) 21:18, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
