Etymology of HADST UP

"Hadst up" is a phrase in Early Modern English and specifically refers to the second person singular form of the verb "to have" in the past tense.

The word "hadst" is a combination of "had" and the second person singular ending "-st". "Had" originally comes from the Old English word "habban", which means "to have, to hold". In Middle English, the past tense form of "habban" was "hadde". Over time, the "-de" ending was dropped, and "had" remained as the past tense form.

The second person singular ending "-st" was often added to verbs in Early Modern English to indicate that the subject of the sentence was "thou" (you, in the modern sense). It denoted singular informal usage.
