The phrase "doeth ones bidding" is a slightly archaic expression meaning "to do what one is told or ordered to do." The spelling "doeth" can be explained using IPA phonetic transcription as /dʌθ/, with the "th" sound pronounced like the "th" in "thing." This spelling is a variant form of the more modern "does," and comes from the Middle English verb "doen" which had a different conjugation for the third person singular. Despite being less commonly used in contemporary English, the phrase "doeth ones bidding" can still be encountered in literature and old-fashioned speech.
To "doeth one's bidding" means to obediently carry out someone's orders, requests, or commands. The phrase uses archaic language, with the verb "doeth" indicating the action of doing and the possessive pronoun "one's" denoting belonging to or relating to a single person. "Bidding" here refers to the act of requesting, commanding, or instructing someone to do something.
When someone "doeth one's bidding," they are willingly complying with or fulfilling the desires, wishes, or instructions of another person. It implies a subservient or submissive relationship between the two parties, where the person doing the bidding is typically seen as subordinate or under the authority of the person giving the orders.
The phrase conveys the ideas of obedience, loyalty, and deference. It suggests that the individual performing the tasks doesn't question or oppose the instructions but rather carries them out dutifully and without hesitation.
"Doeth one's bidding" can be used in various contexts, such as describing the actions of a loyal servant fulfilling the commands of their master, an employee following a boss's orders, or even someone complying with the wishes of a loved one in an affectionate or playful manner. It signifies a willingness to serve and an acknowledgment of authority or influence held by the individual whose bidding is being done.
