quickeneth

Gives life to

Quickeneth is an archaic third-person singular form of quicken, meaning to give life to, make alive, or make faster.

The -eth ending marks it as Early Modern English, found in the King James Bible and similar texts: The Spirit quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing.

In contemporary use, it appears only in historical quotation or deliberate archaism.
