<hw>Do</hw> <tt>(?)</tt>, <tt>n.</tt> <fld>(Mus.)</fld> <def>A syllable attached to the first tone of the major diatonic scale for the purpose of solmization, or solfeggio. It is the first of the seven syllables used by the Italians as manes of musical tones, and replaced, for the sake of euphony, the syllable <i>Ut</i>, applied to the note C. In England and America the same syllables are used by mane as a scale pattern, while the tones in respect to absolute pitch are named from the first seven letters of the alphabet.</def>

As an independent verb, <i>dost</i> is obsolete or rare, except in poetry. "What <i>dost</i> thou in this world?" <i>Milton</i>. The form <i>doeth</i> is a verb unlimited, <i>doth</i>, formerly so used, now being the auxiliary form. The second pers, sing., imperfect tense, is <i>didst</i> (<?/), formerly <i>didest</i> (<?/).]</wordforms> <ety>[AS. <ets>d<?/n</ets>; akin to D. <ets>doen</ets>, OS. <ets>duan</ets>, OHG. <ets>tuon</ets>, G. <ets>thun</ets>, Lith. <ets>deti</ets>, OSlav. <ets>d<?/ti</ets>, OIr. <ets>d\'82nim</ets> I do, Gr. <?/ to put, Skr. <ets>dh\'be</ets>, and to E. suffix <ets>-dom</ets>, and prob. to L. <ets>facere</ets> to do, E. <ets>fact</ets>, and perh. to L. <ets>-dere</ets> in some compounfds, as ad<ets>dere</ets> to add, cre<ets>dere</ets> to trust. <?/<?/<?/ Cf. <er>Deed</er>, <er>Deem</er>, <er>Doom</er>, <er>Fact</er>, <er>Creed</er>, <er>Theme</er>.]</ety>
