The correct spelling of the phrase "didst impression of" is "didst impression of." The "d" in "didst" is pronounced as /d/ and the "st" is added to show a past tense form in early modern English. "Impression" is pronounced as /ɪmˈprɛʃən/. It means a mark made on a surface or a feeling or opinion about someone or something. The word "of" is pronounced as /ʌv/ and is used to show possession or relationship between two things.
The term "didst impression of" is a phrase derived from Old English, specifically the archaic second person singular past tense of the verb "to do," combined with the noun "impression," and complemented by the preposition "of." In its historical context, "didst impression of" refers to an act of creating a lasting effect or influence on someone or something.
The word "didst" is based on the Old English verb "to do" conjugated for the second person singular, indicating an action performed by the subject. "Impression" refers to a mark, influence, or impact made by someone or something on another entity. In this case, "impression" signifies a specific act or instance of influence or impact originated by the subject. Lastly, the preposition "of" emphasizes the relationship between the subject's action and the resulting impression.
For example, if someone were to say "Thou didst impression of a great leader on me," they would be suggesting that the subject (thou) has left a deep mark or made a significant impact, likely in terms of leadership, on the speaker (me). This archaic phrase conveys the notion that the subject's actions or behavior have left a lasting impression on someone or something, leading to a notable influence or effect.
