A large European scaraboid beetle ({Geotrupes stercorarius}), which makes a droning noise while flying. The name is also applied to allied American species, as the {June bug}. Called also {dorr}, {dorbeetle}, or {dorrbeetle}, {dorbug}, {dorrfly}, and {buzzard clock}. [1913 Webster] Dor \Dor\, n. [Cf. {Dor} a beetle, and {Hum}, {Humbug}.] A trick, joke, or deception. --Beau. & Fl. [1913 Webster] {To give one the dor}, to make a fool of him. [Archaic] --P. Fletcher. [1913 Webster] Dor \Dor\, v. t. To make a fool of; to deceive. [Obs.] [Written also {dorr}.] --B. Jonson. [1913 Webster] Dor dwelling, the Dora of the Romans, an ancient royal city of the Canaanites (Josh. 11:1, 2; 12:23). It was the most southern settlement of the Phoenicians on the coast of Syria. The original inhabitants seem never to have been expelled, although they were made tributary by David. It was one of Solomon's commissariat districts (Judg. 1:27; 1 Kings 4:11). It has been identified with Tantura (so named from the supposed resemblance of its tower to a tantur, i.e., "a horn"). This tower fell in 1895, and nothing remains but debris and foundation walls, the remains of an old Crusading fortress. It is about 8 miles north of Caesarea, "a sad and sickly hamlet of wretched huts on a naked sea-beach." |
