doffing
Removing one's hat
Doffing is the act of removing clothing or a hat, especially as a gesture of respect or greeting: doffing his cap to the ladies.
The word is old-fashioned but persists in formal or literary contexts.
In industrial settings, doffing refers to removing finished material from textile machinery.
