Etymology of WAST CONVINCED

The phrase wast convinced is not a word with a distinct etymology. Instead, it is a combination of words that derive from Old English.

Wast is a contraction of wast(e), which is the second-person singular past tense of the verb to be in Old English. It means you were or you wast.

Convinced comes from the Latin word convincere, which means to conquer or to overcome. It entered English through French and Middle English, adopting the meaning of to persuade someone to believe or do something.

So, when combined, wast convinced can be understood as you were persuaded or you were convinced.
