adult female deer
An adult female deer.
รูปแบบการใช้:
a doe [grazes/runs/stands]
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners sometimes confuse the spelling and pronunciation of "doe" /dəʊ/ with "dough" (uncooked bread). Another common confusion is between the plural noun "does" (more than one doe) and the verb form "does" (from "do"); context and pronunciation are different, but the spelling is the same.
คำพ้องความหมาย

|
hind (Mainly British English and especially for a female red deer; less general than 'doe'.)
คำตรงข้าม
buck (Refers to a male deer, often the direct counterpart to a doe.)

female of certain mammals
An adult female rabbit, hare, antelope, or some other animals, when people use this special word in science or breeding.
รูปแบบการใช้:
a [rabbit/hare] doe [is kept/bred]
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners often think "doe" only means a female deer. In animal science and farming, "doe" is also used for other animals like rabbits and hares, usually paired with "buck" for the male. Outside those contexts, it may sound too technical or unusual.
คำพ้องความหมาย
female (A very general term for the sex; not limited to the specific species for which 'doe' is standard.)
|
female rabbit (Applies only to rabbits but is clearer for learners than the technical term 'doe'.)
คำตรงข้าม
buck (The standard term for an adult male in many of the same species where the female is called a 'doe'.)

placeholder surname for unknown person
A family name used in law and official papers for a person when their real name is not known or is secret, usually as part of the name "John Doe" or "Jane Doe".
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners may think "Doe" here is a normal family name, but in legal and official contexts it is often a placeholder, especially in "John Doe" and "Jane Doe". It is also easy to confuse the animal word "doe" with the surname "Doe"; the latter is capitalized and used like a name.
คำพ้องความหมาย
placeholder name (A broader term for any made-up name used temporarily when the real name is not known; not limited to legal surnames like 'Doe'.)
คำตรงข้าม
identified person (A person whose real name and identity are known and recorded, which contrasts with the anonymous "Doe" person.)
