The correct spelling and pronunciation of words is important for effective communication and avoiding misunderstandings.
The phrase "wert acceptable" is not a single word with an etymology. It is a combination of two words: "wert" and "acceptable".
"Wert" is an archaic second-person singular past tense of the verb "be", used with the pronoun "thou" in Early Modern English. It comes from the Old English word "wǣre", which means "were" or "was".
"Acceptable" is derived from the Latin word "acceptabilis", which means "worthy of acceptance". It entered Middle English from Old French, where it was "acceptable", and gradually adapted to its current form.
When combined, the phrase "wert acceptable" means "you were acceptable" or "thou wert acceptable" in the context of Early Modern English.
