Etymology of WERT ABLAZE

The phrase "wert ablaze" is not a standalone word, but rather a combination of two words: "wert" and "ablaze".

The word "wert" is the archaic second-person singular past of the verb "to be" in Middle English. It is derived from the Old English word "wǣre", which meant "were" or "was". Over time, the word "wert" became obsolete in modern English, and its usage is now limited to historical or poetic contexts.

The word "ablaze" is derived from the Middle English word "ablasen", which came from the Old English word "āblāsen". In its original sense, the word meant "blazing" or "burning". It is a combination of the prefix "a-" (intensive) and "blaze", which ultimately traces back to the Old English word "blǣse" meaning "torch".
