What does DOEST mean in Scrabble?
verb
archaic
To do or perform, in the archaic second person singular form used together with thou.
A speaker who wrote thou doest was addressing one person directly in the present tense, and the ending survives now mainly in the King James Bible, older hymns, and writing that deliberately imitates early English style. Modern English dropped the separate second person singular ending entirely, so a present-day writer uses the same word do for every person and number. The related form dost turns up more often in questions such as what dost thou want, while doest is more common in plain statements.
