increaseth
Rises in amount
Increaseth is an archaic verb form meaning "increases," using the old English third-person singular ending -eth.
It appears primarily in the King James Bible and other Early Modern English texts: He that gathereth by labour shall increase, but he that increaseth by vanity shall be diminished.
The form survives only in quotations and deliberate archaism.
