waxes
Applies floor shine
Waxes covers both verbs.
From wax meaning to apply wax: She waxes her car every month, He waxes his legs.
From the older wax meaning to grow or increase, now literary or archaic except in set phrases: the moon waxes and wanes, to wax poetic, to wax nostalgic.
The noun plural refers to waxy substances: candle waxes, ear waxes.
