      the indicative, present tense, thus: I do, thou doest ([?])
      or dost [?], he does ([?]), doeth ([?]), or doth ([?]); when
      auxiliary, the second person is, thou dost. As an independent

      dost thou in this world?[b8] --Milton. The form doeth is a
      verb unlimited, doth, formerly so used, now being the
      auxiliary form. The second pers, sing., imperfect tense, is
      didst ([?]), formerly didest ([?]).] [AS. d[?]n; akin to D.
      doen, OS. duan, OHG. tuon, G. thun, Lith. deti, OSlav.
      d[?]ti, OIr. d[82]nim I do, Gr. [?] to put, Skr. dh[be], and

      perh. to L. -dere in some compounfds, as addere to add,
      credere to trust. [?][?][?] Cf. {Deed}, {Deem}, {Doom},
      {Fact}, {Creed}, {Theme}.]

               passive signification, i. e., cause . . . to be made.
