WERT ORDAINED Meaning and
Definition
-
"Wert ordained" is an archaic phrase derived from Middle English and Old English, primarily used in a religious or biblical context. It consists of two components: "wert" and "ordained."
"Wert" is the second-person singular and plural past tense of the verb "be" in Old English, replaced by "were" in modern English. It implies the state of existence or being at a specific time in the past.
"Ordained" is an adjective derived from the verb "ordain," which means to officially establish, appoint, or decree something. In a religious sense, it typically denotes the divine selection, appointment, or installation of an individual for a specific religious role, such as priest, minister, or bishop.
Combining these two terms, "wert ordained" can be understood as a phrase referring to a previous instance when someone, usually within a religious context, was divinely or authoritatively established or appointed for a particular duty or purpose. It suggests that the person's designation was predetermined or predestined by a higher power or recognized authority.
Although this phrase is seldom used in modern English, it can still be found in historical texts, religious literature, or archaic translations of religious scriptures, representing a linguistic relic from earlier stages of the language's development.

Etymology of WERT ORDAINED
The phrase "wert ordained" is a combination of the archaic English verb "wert" and the past participle "ordained".
"Wert" is the second person singular past subjunctive form of the verb "to be" in Middle English. It is derived from the Old English word "wǣre", which means "were". Over time, the pronunciation and spelling of "wǣre" changed to "wert".
"Ordained" is the past participle form of the verb "to ordain". It comes from the Latin word "ordinare", meaning "to arrange" or "to order". "Ordain" entered Middle English from Old French "ordener", which is ultimately derived from the Latin root.
When combined, "wert ordained" forms a phrase that could be interpreted as "you were arranged" or "you were ordered", depending on the context.
