Pronunciation: [dʌθ dˈɪʃɪz] (IPA) 
The phrase "doth dishes" may seem like archaic language, but it simply means "does the dishes." The word "doth" is an old-fashioned version of "does," and is pronounced /dʌθ/. The word "dishes" is pronounced /ˈdɪʃɪz/ and as a plural noun means "plates, bowls, and utensils used for eating." Therefore, the phrase "doth dishes" is simply a fancy way of saying "washing the plates, bowls, and utensils used for eating."
"Doth dishes" is a phrase that is derived from the archaic form of the verb 'do' combined with the noun 'dishes.' It is commonly used in Old English or Shakespearean language, and refers to the act of washing or cleaning kitchen utensils and plates.
The term 'doth' is the third-person singular form of the verb 'do' in the present tense, used primarily in Old English. It notably appears in poetic or literary works, particularly those influenced by Shakespearean language, which commonly employ archaic grammar and vocabulary. In this context, 'doth' indicates an action or task being performed by someone else, not the speaker.
The noun 'dishes' in this phrase specifically refers to kitchenware and cutlery, typically including plates, bowls, glasses, and utensils that are used during meals. When someone "doth dishes," it means that they are undertaking the task of cleaning or washing these items, removing food remnants, grease, and stains to restore their cleanliness and prepare them for future use.
The phrase 'doth dishes' is rarely used in modern English unless as an intentional stylistic choice to evoke a sense of antiquity or drama. However, it remains recognizable to those familiar with the works of Shakespeare or older literary texts, where it is often found.
The phrase "doth dishes" is a combination of two words: "doth" and "dishes".
The word " doth" is the third-person singular present tense of the verb "do", which was commonly used in Early Modern English (16th-17th centuries). "Doth" is derived from the Old English word "dōþ", which is the present indicative form of the verb "dōn".
The word "dishes" refers to the objects used for serving or eating food. It comes from the Middle English word "dische", which was borrowed from the Old French word "dische" or "diche", meaning "plate" or "dish". This Old French word can be traced back to the Latin word "discus", meaning "dish" or "platter".
