IN BRIEF: n. - A unit of pain intensity.

pronunciation The dol of cancer patients is unimaginable.

Tutor's tip: He felt "dull" (not clear; stupid) and surprisingly "dol" (a measure of the degree of pain) about being on the "dole" (unemployment compensation), and thus not having enough money to buy the "doll" (a toy figure resembling a person) for his daughter.
