Perceives the sense
Understandeth is an archaic third-person singular form of understand, from Early Modern English when verbs took the -eth ending: He that hath ears to hear, let him hear; he that understandeth, let him understand.
The form appears almost exclusively in biblical and liturgical contexts, particularly the King James Bible.
