Best Answer

It is the second person singular form of the verb to see, when the obsolete pronoun "thou" is used. "Thou seest the actors on the stage" means the same as "You see the actors on the stage", when you are talking to only one person.

All verb forms which go along with "thou" end in "-st". To find the equivalent, just remove the "-st"
