Etymology of WAST STUBBORN

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

1. "Wast" is the second-person singular past tense of the verb "to be" in Middle English. It is derived from the Old English word "wǣre", which also means "was". Over time, this Old English word evolved into "wast" in Middle English.

2. "Stubborn" comes from the Old English word "stiborn", which means "unyielding" or "unmanageable". It is a combination of the prefix "stī-" (meaning "intractable" or "stubborn") and "beorn" (meaning "bear" or "warrior").
