Etymology of WAST EARLY

The phrase "wast early" consists of two words: "wast" and "early".

1. "Wast":

The word "wast" is the second-person singular past tense form of the verb "be" in Middle English. It originated from the Old English word "wǣre", which means "were". Over time, "wǣre" was modified to "were", and eventually to "wast" in Middle English. The past tense form "wast" indicates that something was present or in existence in the past, but no longer is.

2. "Early":

The word "early" derives from the Old English word "ærlīce", which means "before the usual or expected time". It is related to the Old High German word "erlico", which has the same meaning.
