seeketh

Actively hunts something

Seeketh is an archaic third-person singular form of seek, meaning to look for or search: He that seeketh findeth.

The -eth ending was standard in Early Modern English and survives mainly in biblical and liturgical texts.

Contemporary speakers encounter it almost exclusively in quotations from the King James Bible or deliberately archaic prose.
