Behoove

Postby mnichols0 » Mon Jul 24, 2023 11:38 pm

The ancient word Behoove means a duty or responsibility to do something.

The Middle English bihoven comes from the Old English behofian, meaning "to have need of, have use for." It is of West Germanic origin, and related to Dutch behoef and German behuf.

Been to the Good Doctor's office twice, in 2007 and 2013.
Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.
