Do you pronounce dotard as DOTE-erd or as dote-ARD?

[raccoon]

I thought it was DOTE-erd but I heard some man on NPR say it the other way, with the accent on the second syllable.

Either way, I like that word.

I only saw it in print, and assumed it was a portmanteau of the first syllable of "Donald" and the "tard" in...well, you know.

Turns out it's an actual word, with the accent on the first syllable. DOTE-erd is the correct pronunciation.
