When a lawsuit is filed, the Plaintiff may discover additional defendants that have fault and liability in a case. Although their names may be unknown at the time of filing, they can be added to the case as long as the Plaintiff reserved the right to substitute their names in the complaint. In order to to that, the Plaintiff includes the naming of additional defendants as "does" or "roes" after the names of the known defendant(s) in the case. (This is a short way of saying "John Doe", Jane Roe, etc. ) This is usually done by including a phrase such as "and Does 1 through 5" or "And Roes 1-100, inclusive". When the case is settled or a judgment is entered, it is procedurally correct to dismiss the case against all the unnamed "does" or "roes" in order to provide a disposition for all defendants in the case.

Unless the word "Does" is misspelled or it is an acronym for something, there is no legal word that fits the question as it is stated.
