Pronunciation: [wɒst lˈɛft] (IPA) 
The spelling of "wast left" is a bit unusual and may seem confusing at first. However, it is actually a contraction of "was left" and is written in an old English style. The "w" in "wast" is pronounced like a "v" sound and the "a" is pronounced like the "o" in "not". The "t" at the end is silent. Overall, the phonetic transcription of "wast left" would be /wɑst lɛft/.
The phrase "wast left" is a combination of two words: "wast" and "left". Let's break down the etymology of each word:
1. "Wast":
"Wast" is the contraction of "wert" and "thou" in Middle English. "Wert" is the second-person singular past tense of the verb "to be", and "thou" is the archaic second-person singular pronoun. Together, they form the past tense of "to be" for the second person, meaning "you were". Over time, "wast" became less commonly used as the English language evolved.
2. "Left":
"Left" comes from the Old English word "læft", meaning "remaining" or "on the left side".
