Compare ( < a similar source) Portuguese †dachém, †dachen, †dachim (1532; now achém).

Somewhat rare.

A balance used in China and East Asia, consisting of a beam with arms of unequal length, and having a scale suspended from the shorter arm and a counterpoise which can slide along the longer arm (which is notched or graduated).The dotchin is similar in form and use to a steelyard (steelyard n.²).In quot. 1685 perhaps used as an allusive reference to trade.
