Pronunciation: [wɒst dɪlˈa͡ɪtɪd] (IPA) 
The correct spelling of "wast delighted" is actually "was delighted." In old English, "wast" used to be the second person singular form of "be" and "was" the first person singular form. Today, we only use "was" for both. "Delighted" is pronounced /dɪˈlaɪtɪd/, with the stress on the second syllable. The "gh" in "delighted" is silent, but it used to be pronounced as a hard "g" sound in earlier versions of English.
There is no dictionary definition of the exact phrase "wast delighted" as it may be a combination of archaic or obsolete terms. However, a possible interpretation of this phrase can be derived by defining the individual words used.
The word "wast" is the second-person singular past tense of the verb "be" in its archaic form, which means "were." "Be" is used to indicate existence, identity, or a characteristic state.
The term "delighted" is an adjective that describes a strong feeling of happiness, joy, or satisfaction. It is commonly used to express extreme pleasure or contentment.

For example, "Upon receiving news of her promotion, she wast delighted" indicates that at some point in the past, the person felt immense joy or satisfaction upon learning about their promotion.
However, it is important to note that the phrase "wast delighted" may not be widely recognized or used in contemporary language, and its meaning could vary depending on the specific context in which it is found.
The phrase "wast delighted" is not a word or a single term. It appears to be a combination of two words: "wast" and "delighted", both of which have separate etymologies.
1. Wast: "Wast" is the archaic second-person singular form of the verb "be" in past tense. In Middle English, the second-person singular pronoun was "thou", and the past tense form of "be" for "thou" was "wast". The etymology of "wast" traces back to Old English "wǣre", which means "were" or "are" (archaic term). The word evolved over time to "wast" in Middle English and was eventually replaced by "were" in Modern English.
2. Delighted: "Delighted" is an adjective derived from the verb "delight".
