Etymology of WERT DELIRIOUS

The phrase "wert delirious" is not a word in itself but a combination of words. "Wert" is the past tense second-person singular form of the verb "to be" in archaic English, and "delirious" is an adjective that means being in a state of extreme excitement, confusion, or irrationality.

The word "delirious" has its origins in the Latin word "delirare", which means "to be crazy or deranged". It is a combination of the prefix "de" (meaning "out of") and the word "lira" (meaning "furrow" or "ditch"). Early usage of "delirious" (around the 16th century) referred specifically to someone suffering from a fever-induced mental disturbance. Over time, the term's meaning expanded to encompass a broader range of states of excitement or confusion, beyond just those caused by fever.
