Etymology of WAST IMPAIRED

The phrase "wast impaired" is a combination of two words: "wast" and "impaired".

- "Wast" is an archaic form of the verb "be" in the second person singular past tense in Middle English and Old English. It is derived from the Old English word "wǣre" or "wǣron", which meant "were" in the past tense. Over time, "wast" evolved into "wert" and eventually became "were" in modern English.

- "Impaired" comes from the Old French word "empeirier", which means "to make worse" or "to make less effective". It is derived from the Latin word "imparare", which means "to make unequal" or "to diminish".
