"Doth one bidding" is a phrase derived from archaic English, particularly from the language used during the Elizabethan era. The term consists of three elements: "doth," "one," and "bidding."
"Doth" is an archaic form of the verb "to do," specifically employed for the third person singular present tense. Its usage reflects a more formal or poetic language style, commonly found in older literature.
"One" represents an unspecified individual or person, acting as a generic subject in the sentence.
"Bidding" refers to a command, request, or order given by someone to another person. It implies an authoritative or dominant authority instructing someone to carry out a specific task or action.
Taken together, "doth one bidding" signifies the act of obediently or dutifully complying with the commands or requests of another person. It denotes an individual willingly following the orders or fulfilling the wishes of a superior or someone with authority. The phrase emphasizes a sense of submission, duty, or loyalty, implying that the person in question is acting in accordance with another's will.
This phrase is mainly found in older literature, particularly in works written by William Shakespeare and his contemporaries, and may not be frequently encountered in modern usage due to the evolution of the English language.
