How Do You Spell WERT CONTRARY TO?

Pronunciation: [wˈɜːt kˈɒntɹəɹˌɪ tuː] (IPA)

The spelling of the word "wert contrary to" may seem unusual, but it is actually a common archaic usage of the verb "to be" in the subjunctive mood. In IPA phonetic transcription, it would be pronounced /wərt kənˈtrɛri tu/. "Wert" is the subjunctive form of "were," and "contrary to" means "at odds with" or "in opposition to." While this construction is no longer commonly used in modern English, it can be found in older texts and poems, adding a touch of historical charm to the language.

WERT CONTRARY TO Meaning and Definition

  1. "Wert contrary to" is an archaic phrase that was commonly used in older English literature, particularly in Shakespearean plays and other works from the Early Modern English period. It combines the past-tense form of the verb "to be" ("wert") with the adjective "contrary" and the preposition "to." In contemporary English, this phrase would be more commonly expressed as "were contrary to."

    "Wert contrary to" implies a state of opposition or contradiction. It conveys the idea that something or someone was in direct conflict or disagreement with another entity or concept. The phrase highlights a discernible contrast or opposing nature between two elements.

    When used in a sentence, "wert contrary to" would typically be followed by the thing or idea that is being opposed or contradicted. For example, one could say, "Thou wert contrary to my wishes," meaning that someone's actions or attitude were directly in conflict with the speaker's desired outcome.

    The phrase can also convey the notion of challenging societal norms or going against established conventions. It suggests a rebellious or non-conforming nature and the rejection of widely accepted beliefs or expectations.

    While the phrase itself is considered obsolete in modern usage, it is occasionally encountered in literary or historical contexts. The sentiment expressed by "wert contrary to" is more commonly expressed in contemporary English using alternative phrases such as "were in opposition to," "went against," or "defied."
