Etymology of WERE WANT

The phrase "were want" is not commonly used or recognized as a standalone term in the English language. However, it seems to be a combination of two separate words, "were" and "want", both of which have their own distinct etymologies.

1. "Were": The word "were" is the past tense plural form of the verb "be" in modern English. Its root can be traced back to the Old English word "wǣron" or "wǣre", which had a similar meaning. This Old English term ultimately derives from the Proto-Germanic language.

2. "Want": The word "want" comes from the Old English word "wann", which meant to lack or be deficient in something. The Old English term "wann" can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word "wanjaną".
