Definition
Third person singular present tense of clepe; calls or names (archaic).
Etymology
Formed by adding the archaic third-person singular suffix -es to the infinitive clepe, a conjugation pattern common in Middle English before the language shifted to simpler verb forms.
Kelly Says
The '-es' ending here is why we still say 'he goes' instead of 'he go'—it's a ghost of this Middle English system still haunting our modern verbs.
