How Do You Spell WAST CONTRITE?
Pronunciation: [wɒst kəntɹˈa͡ɪt] (IPA) 
The spelling of "wast contrite" may seem unusual, but it follows the standard spelling rules of Middle English. In IPA phonetic transcription, "wast" is pronounced /wɑːst/ and means "were" in modern English. "Contrite" is pronounced /kənˈtraɪt/ and means remorseful. Together, the phrase means "were remorseful." Middle English words often included "wast" to indicate past tense, and "contrite" was commonly used to express repentance or sorrow.
