The phrase "dost credit to" is an archaic expression derived from Middle English and is composed of two primary components: "dost" and "credit."
Firstly, "dost" is the second-person singular present tense of the verb "do" in the Middle English language. It signifies an action performed by the subject, relating to accomplishing, executing, or creating something specific. It is conjugated as an auxiliary verb to support and accentuate the primary verb.
Secondly, "credit" refers to the act of acknowledging, recognizing, or giving praise or esteem to someone or something. It is a verb that demonstrates agreement or acknowledgment of a particular quality, skill, or achievement.
When combined, the phrase "dost credit to" implies that the subject (using the second-person singular pronoun "dost") is acknowledging or attributing commendation, admiration, or merit to an object, person, action, or idea denoted by the word following "to." It suggests an act of giving credence, recognition, or approval by expressing confidence in or having faith in the identified entity.
In modern English, this expression is virtually unused, as it is an archaic form of language. However, it demonstrates the historical development and transformation of language, reflecting the linguistic evolution of Middle English into contemporary English.
