Theive

The word "theive" is a misspelling of the word "thieve." The correct spelling, "thieve," is an archaic term that refers to a person who steals or takes something dishonestly. The term is derived from the Old English word "þefan," which means "to steal." In modern English, the more commonly used term for a person who steals is "thief." The word "thieve" is less frequently encountered in contemporary usage, but it is still recognized in some contexts, such as in literature and historical documents.
