Etymology of WAST DISPLAYED

The phrase "wast displayed" seems to be a combination of two words: "wast" and "displayed".

1. "Wast" is the past tense of the verb "be" in the second person singular form in Old English. It is derived from the Old English word "wǣre" which meant "were" (as in "you were"). Over time, "wǣre" evolved into "wast".

2. "Displayed" is the past participle form of the verb "display". The word "display" is derived from the Old French word "despleier", meaning "to unfold" or "to spread out".

So, when combined together, "wast displayed" could essentially mean "you were unfolded" or "you were spread out".
