Aroint survives almost entirely through the phrase aroint thee, most famously spoken by a witch in Shakespeare's Macbeth to drive someone off. The word had already grown rare by Shakespeare's time, and no one is fully certain of its origin, though it likely began as a dialect command. Writers today reach for aroint only to evoke an archaic or theatrical flavor, never in ordinary speech.
