Overall, "doest well" serves as an archaic expression indicating the successful and proficient execution of an action or task, conveying a sense of commendable or capable performance.
The phrase "doest well" consists of the verb "doest" and the adverb "well".
The word "doest" is the second person singular form of the verb "do" in Early Modern English. It originated from the Old English word "dōest", which was derived from the Proto-Germanic word "dōist". This, in turn, can be traced back to the Proto-Indo-European root word "dheh₁-", meaning "to place, put".
The adverb "well" is derived from the Old English word "wel", which can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word "welą". This ultimately came from the Proto-Indo-European root word "welh₁-", meaning "pleasing, good".
When combined, "doest well" refers to an action being performed skillfully, effectively, or in a satisfactory manner.
