Definition
Plural form of doyley; multiple small decorative mats used to protect or beautify surfaces.
Etymology
Alternative spelling of 'doilies,' the plural of 'doyley,' derived from Mr. Doyle's 18th-century linen shop. The variant spelling reflects different regional preferences in English-speaking countries.
Kelly Says
English spelling is messy! 'Doilies,' 'doylies,' and 'doyleys' are all accepted ways to spell the plural of this Victorian decoration—showing how informal usage can create multiple 'correct' versions of a word.
