Pronunciation: [wɒst səfˈɪʃənt] (IPA) 
The spelling of "wast sufficient" may be confusing to some due to the archaic language used. The word "wast" is the past tense of "be" and is pronounced /wɑːst/.

While the spelling may not be commonly used today, it can be seen in historical literature and poetry, offering a glimpse into the language of the past.
The phrase "wast sufficient" is derived from Middle English and has its roots in Old English.
The word "wast" is the second person singular form of "be", which was commonly used in Old English. It means "were" or "was", depending on the context.
The term "sufficient" comes from the Latin word "sufficiens", which means "supplying a need, sufficient". It has been adapted into various languages, including Old English, where it was spelled as "sufficent".
When combined, "wast sufficient" essentially means "you were enough" or "you were sufficient" in modern English.
