What does GOEST mean in Scrabble?
verb
archaic
To go — the old second person singular present tense form of the verb, used with the pronoun thou.
In earlier forms of English, verbs changed their ending for the pronoun thou, so instead of saying thou go, a speaker said thou goest. The form survives today mainly in scripture, older poetry, and hymns, or in writing that deliberately imitates old-fashioned English for effect. Modern English dropped this special ending, and goest was replaced everywhere by the single modern form go.
