The spelling of "wast" reflects the Old English pronunciation, while "prolix" comes from Latin. The IPA phonetic transcription for "wast prolix" is /wɑːst prəʊlɪks/.

"Wast prolix" is a phrase derived from Middle English and specifically refers to an individual who tends to be excessively verbose or long-winded in their speech or writing. It is a combination of two words, "wast" and "prolix," both of which contribute to the overall meaning of the phrase.
"Wast" is an archaic form of the verb "to be" used with the second-person singular form. In this context, it implies the subject being addressed as someone who possesses an inclination or tendency towards a specific behavior. It suggests that the individual being described is characterized by or prone to a certain quality.
"Prolix," on the other hand, is an adjective that describes someone who tends to use an excessive amount of words or who goes into unnecessary detail when communicating. It implies a lack of conciseness and the tendency to elongate or overly extend their expression, resulting in a superfluity of words or ideas.
Together, "wast prolix" describes an individual who habitually demonstrates a long-winded communication style, often expounding on a subject with an extensive amount of unnecessary details or lengthy explanations. This phrase may be used to criticize someone for their verbosity or to highlight the laborious nature of their speech or writing style, indicating that the individual tends to be overly cumbersome or tedious in their manner of expression.
