Etymology of DOEST LIKEWISE

The phrase "doest likewise" is a combination of two words: "doest" and "likewise".

1. Doest: It is the archaic second-person singular present of the verb "do", used in Early Modern English. In this form, "do" was used as an auxiliary verb to form questions and negatives, or to emphasize the action of the main verb. The word "do" itself has Old English origins and comes from the Proto-Germanic word "dōan", meaning "to do".

2. Likewise: This is a compound of the words "like" and "wise". "Like" is derived from the Old English word "lic", meaning "similar" or "equal". "Wise" has Old English roots and comes from the Proto-Germanic word "wīsaz", which means "wise" or "clever".
