Etymology of WAST ORDAINED

The phrase "wast ordained" is a combination of two words: "wast" and "ordained". Here is the etymology of each word:

1. Wast:

"Wast" is the second person singular past tense of the verb "be". It comes from the Old English word "wære/wǣre", which means "you were" or "thou wast". This word can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic root *wēz, which means "to dwell". Over time, the spelling and pronunciation of "wast" changed, but its meaning as the past tense of "be" remained the same.

2. Ordained:

"Ordained" comes from the Old French word "ordener", meaning "arrange" or "put in order". This Old French word derived from the Latin word "ordinare", which means "put in order" or "arrange".
