The correct spelling of the word "wast warpath" is actually "westward path". The confusion may arise due to the similarity in pronunciation between "wast" and "west". In IPA phonetic transcription, "wast" is pronounced as /wɑːst/, while "west" is pronounced as /wɛst/. Similarly, "warpath" is often mistakenly written as one word, but it is actually two separate words, with "war" pronounced as /wɔːr/ and "path" pronounced as /pæθ/. Therefore, the correct spelling of the phrase should be "westward path" with a pronounced /wɛstwərd pæθ/.
