Etymology of WAST SERVILE

The phrase "wast servile" is a contraction of the Old English words "wǣs" (meaning "was") and "þū" (meaning "you"), combined with the Middle English word "servile" (meaning "servant-like" or "slave-like"). "þū" evolved into "thou" in later Middle English, which was the informal second person singular pronoun.

The term "wast servile" was commonly used in Middle English as a mark of respect when addressing someone of higher social status. It was a way of expressing politeness and humility in speech. The phrase itself can be translated to mean "you were servant-like" or "you acted like a servant".
