Etymology of WAST DECEITFUL

There seems to be a mistake in the phrase you provided. "Wast" is an archaic form of the word "was", which refers to the past tense of the verb "to be". However, "deceitful" is an adjective meaning dishonest or intended to deceive. Therefore, the two words don't have a direct etymology together. Nevertheless, I can provide you with the etymology of each word separately.

1. Was: "Was" originated from the Old English word "wæs" or "waes". It has Germanic roots and can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word "was".

2. Deceitful: "Deceitful" comes from the Middle English word "desaiteful", which was derived from the Old French word "desceit" or "deceite".
