The phrase "wert malodorous" is a combination of two words: "wert" and "malodorous".
- "Wert" is a verb form of "to be" in the second person singular, past tense in archaic English. It is derived from the Old English word "wǣre" or "wǣron", which was later simplified to "were". Over time, this form gave way to the modern "was" for singular subjects and "were" for plural subjects.
- "Malodorous" is an adjective that means having an unpleasant or offensive smell. It is derived from the combination of two Latin words: "malus", meaning "bad/evil", and "odor", meaning "smell/scent". The two words were combined to form "malodorus" in Latin, which was later borrowed into English.
