do \do\ (d[=oo]), v. t. or auxiliary. [imp. did (d[i^]d); p.
   p. done (d[u^]n); p. pr. & vb. n. Doing (d[=oo]"[i^]ng).
   This verb, when transitive, is formed in the indicative,
   present tense, thus: I do, thou doest (d[=oo]"[e^]st) or dost
   (d[u^]st), he does (d[u^]z), doeth (d[=oo]"[e^]th), or doth
   (d[u^]th); when auxiliary, the second person is, thou dost.
   As an independent verb, dost is obsolete or rare, except in
   poetry. "What dost thou in this world?" --Milton. The form
   doeth is a verb unlimited, doth, formerly so used, now being
   the auxiliary form. The second pers, sing., imperfect tense,
   is didst (d[i^]dst), formerly didest (d[i^]d"[e^]st).] [AS.
   d[=o]n; akin to D. doen, OS. duan, OHG. tuon, G. thun, Lith.
   deti, OSlav. d[=e]ti, OIr. d['e]nim I do, Gr. tiqe`nai to
   put, Skr. dh[=a], and to E. suffix -dom, and prob. to L.
   facere to do, E. fact, and perh. to L. -dere in some
   compounds, as addere to add, credere to trust. [root]65. Cf.
   Deed, Deem, Doom, Fact, Creed, Theme.]

         like the French faire or laisser), in which the verb in

   Note:
       (a) Do and did are much employed as auxiliaries, the verb
           to which they are joined being an infinitive. As an
           auxiliary the verb do has no participle. "I do set my
           bow in the cloud." --Gen. ix. 13. [Now archaic or
           rare except for emphatic assertion.]
           [1913 Webster]

                 Rarely . . . did the wrongs of individuals to
                 the knowledge of the public.     -- Macaulay.
       (b) They are often used in emphatic construction. "You
           don't say so, Mr. Jobson. -- but I do say so." --Sir
           W. Scott. "I did love him, but scorn him now."
           --Latham.
       (c) In negative and interrogative constructions, do and
           did are in common use. I do not wish to see them;
           what do you think? Did C[ae]sar cross the Tiber? He
           did not. "Do you love me?" --Shak.
       (d) Do, as an auxiliary, is supposed to have been first
           used before imperatives. It expresses entreaty or
           earnest request; as, do help me. In the imperative
           mood, but not in the indicative, it may be used with
           the verb to be; as, do be quiet. Do, did, and done
           often stand as a general substitute or representative
           verb, and thus save the repetition of the principal
           verb. "To live and die is all we have to do."
           --Denham. In the case of do and did as auxiliaries,
           the sense may be completed by the infinitive (without
           to) of the verb represented. "When beauty lived and
           died as flowers do now." --Shak. "I . . . chose my
           wife as she did her wedding gown." --Goldsmith.
           [1913 Webster]

                 My brightest hopes giving dark fears a being.
                 As the light does the shadow.    -- Longfellow.
           In unemphatic affirmative sentences do is, for the
           most part, archaic or poetical; as, "This just
           reproach their virtue does excite." --Dryden.
           [1913 Webster]

   To do one's best, To do one's diligence (and the like),
      to exert one's self; to put forth one's best or most or
      most diligent efforts. "We will . . . do our best to gain
      their assent." --Jowett (Thucyd.).

   To do one's business, to ruin one. [Colloq.] --Wycherley.

   To do one shame, to cause one shame. [Obs.]

   To do over.
       (a) To make over; to perform a second time.

           --Hawthorne.

   To do way, to put away; to lay aside. [Obs.] --Chaucer.

   To do with, to dispose of; to make use of; to employ; --
      usually preceded by what. "Men are many times brought to
      that extremity, that were it not for God they would not
      know what to do with themselves." --Tillotson.

   To have to do with, to have concern, business or
      intercourse with; to deal with. When preceded by what, the
      notion is usually implied that the affair does not concern
      the person denoted by the subject of have. "Philology has
      to do with language in its fullest sense." --Earle. "What
      have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah?" --2 Sam. xvi.
      10.
