Couths

/kuːðz/ noun, verb

Definition

Plural of 'couth' when used as a noun; or third-person singular verb form (he/she couths).

Etymology

Kelly Says

The fact that 'couths' could be a verb meaning 'acts with couth' shows how readily English treats words—even invented back-formations can become verbs if you need them.
