What does the word bideth mean?

"Bideth" is an archaic form of the verb "bide", which means to wait or to stay.

It is often used in a poetic or literary context to give a more formal or old-fashioned feel to the language.

For example, you might see "bideth" used in a poem or a passage from a historical novel.

Here are some examples of how "bideth" can be used:

* "He bideth his time, waiting for the perfect moment."

* "The wind bideth silent, but the storm approaches."

* "She bideth in the shadows, unseen but ever watchful."

While "bideth" is still occasionally used in modern English, it is more common to use the modern form "bides" or "waits."
