Today’s “Word of the Day” is doff and it is a verb meaning “remove, take off (a piece of clothing); remove, take off, raise, lift, tip (your hat, usually as a sign of respect); (whereas ‘don’ means ‘put on a piece of clothing’)”.
Example Sentence: And yet when it comes the public, the government seems much happier to throw caution to the wind. For people in England, the use of face coverings – of any sort – is no longer required. While the mask mandate may have gone, and some people will joyously doff their masks, many will remain rightly concerned about Covid-19, the potential for getting long Covid and the effect that the lack of restrictions will have on the lives of vulnerable people.
