Leadeth

/ˈlɛdəθ/ verb

Definition

An archaic form of 'leads,' meaning to guide or direct someone along a path, used in older English like the King James Bible.

Etymology

From Old English 'lædan' (to lead), a common Germanic root. The '-eth' ending is an archaic third-person singular present tense marker that appears in biblical and Shakespearean English.

Kelly Says

The '-eth' ending sounds ancient and formal to us now, but it was actually just casual everyday speech in Shakespeare's time—like how you might say 'he walks' today, people said 'he walketh.' What's funny is that even in 1611 when the King James Bible was written, the '-eth' was already sounding old-fashioned, but they used it to make Scripture sound timeless and holy.
