Etymology of WAST INDIGNANT

The phrase "wast indignant" is not an individual word but a combination of two words: "wast" and "indignant". Let's break down the etymology of each of these words:

1. "Wast":

The word "wast" is an archaic form of the second-person singular past tense of the verb "be". In modern English, the correct form would be "were". So, "wast indignant" essentially means "were indignant". In Old English, the word "wast" originated from the Germanic word "wesan".

2. "Indignant":

The word "indignant" comes from the Latin word "indignari", which means "to deem unworthy". Over time, it evolved into "indignus", meaning "unworthy" or "unworthy of" in Latin.
