annoyeth

Causes persistent irritation

Annoyeth is an archaic or deliberately antiquated form of annoys, using the -eth ending that marked third-person singular verbs in Early Modern English.

It appears in older biblical translations and literary texts, and sometimes in modern writing for humorous or mock-formal effect: What annoyeth thee, good sir?
