Etymology of WAST DISSOLUTE

The phrase "wast dissolute" does not have an established etymology as it seems to be a combination of two distinct words - "wast" and "dissolute".

1. "Wast" is the archaic form of the word "waste", which is derived from the Old French word "gast" meaning "desolate" or "uncultivated". It ultimately traces back to the Latin word "vastus" with a similar meaning.

2. "Dissolute" comes from the Latin word "dissolutus", which means "loose" or "unrestrained". It is formed from the prefix "dis-" (meaning "apart" or "un-") and "solutus" (meaning "loosed" or "released").
