How Do You Spell WAST AUTHORIZED?

Pronunciation: [wɒst ˈɔːθəɹˌa͡ɪzd] (IPA)

The correct spelling of the phrase "wast authorized" may seem confusing due to the silent "e" at the end of "wast". However, this spelling is actually based on the pronunciation of the word in IPA phonetic transcription, which is /wɑːst/ with a long "a" sound. The word "wast" is the archaic form of "was", which explains the unusual spelling. Therefore, when referring to past actions that were authorized, "wast authorized" is the correct spelling.

Etymology of WAST AUTHORIZED

The phrase "wast authorized" is not a separate word or phrase with its own distinct etymology. Instead, it is a combination of two separate words: "wast" and "authorized".

"Wast" is the second-person singular past tense form of the verb "be" in early modern English. It was used to indicate the past tense of "are" or "were". However, this usage became obsolete in standard English, and today, "were" is the correct past tense form of "be" for the second person singular.

"Authorized" is the past tense form of the verb "authorize", derived from the Latin word "authorizare", meaning "to give authority or sanction". The term "authorize" means to grant official permission or power to someone or something.
