Commendeth

Commendeth is an archaic form of the verb "commend." It is the third-person singular present indicative form, meaning it refers to an action performed by a single, non-specific male or female subject in the present tense. This form is typically found in older English texts, such as those from the Elizabethan era or the King James Bible. The verb "commend" itself means to praise, to express approval, or to entrust something or someone to someone else's care. Therefore, "commendeth" would be used in a sentence like "The king commendeth the bravery of his soldiers" or "He commendeth his soul to God." Modern English usage has largely replaced this form with "commends." The "-eth" ending was a common grammatical marker for third-person singular verbs in Middle and Early Modern English, evolving from Old English verb conjugations. While no longer in common spoken or written use, understanding "commendeth" can aid in the interpretation of historical literature and religious texts.
