Etymology of WAST UNTRUTHFUL

The phrase "wast untruthful" does not have a specific etymology on its own. However, we can break it down by examining the individual words:

1. "Wast" is the archaic second-person singular past tense of the verb "be" in Middle English. It is derived from the Old English word "waest" meaning "thou were". Over time, the pronunciation and spelling of "waest" evolved into "wast".

2. "Untruthful" is derived from the word "truth" and the suffix "-ful". "Truth" comes from the Old English word "treowth", meaning "faithfulness" or "fidelity". The suffix "-ful" is added to words to express the meaning "full of" or "characterized by". Therefore, "untruthful" means "not characterized by truth" or "not full of truth".
