doeth
Performs, King James-style
Doeth is an archaic third-person singular form of "do," equivalent to modern "does." It appears in older English texts, particularly the King James Bible: Whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Outside of biblical quotation or deliberate archaism, the word is effectively obsolete.
