Etymology of WAST COMMENSURATE

The phrase "wast commensurate" does not have an established etymology as it appears to be a combination of two separate words or phrases.

"Wast" is the archaic second person singular past tense of the verb "be" in Middle English, equivalent to the modern "were". It comes from Old English "wǣre", indicating "you were". Therefore, its etymology can be traced back to Proto-Germanic and ultimately to the Indo-European root "bʰuH-", meaning "to be".

"Commensurate", on the other hand, is a Latin-derived adjective that entered English in the 17th century. It is derived from the Latin words "com-" (meaning "with" or "together") and "mensurare" (meaning "to measure"). Therefore, "commensurate" means "equal in measure" or "proportionate".
