Etymology of DOTH OVER

- "Doth" is the third person singular present tense of the verb "do" in the archaic form. It comes from the Old English word "dōþ" or "dēþ", which is derived from the Proto-Germanic word "*dōtijaną". "Doth" was commonly used in Early Modern English but has since fallen out of common usage.
