Etymology of DOTH OVER

The phrase "doth over" does not have a specific etymology because it is not a commonly used phrase in modern English. However, we can break down the etymology of the individual words "doth" and "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.

- "Over" comes from the Old English word "ofer", which is rooted in the Proto-Germanic word "*uberi". It has evolved from its original meaning of "above" or "upon" to also indicate direction, position, covering, or passing beyond.
