Pronunciation: [wɒst da͡ɪvˈʌld͡ʒd] (IPA) 
The correct spelling of the phrase "wast divulged" is actually "was divulged." The word "was" is spelled as /wʌz/ in IPA phonetic transcription and is the past tense form of the verb "to be". "Divulged" is spelled as /dɪˈvʌldʒd/ in IPA and means to reveal something that was previously unknown or secret. It's important to pay attention to spelling and pronunciation to ensure clear communication and understanding.
The phrase "wast divulged" is not a word, but a combination of two words: "wast" and "divulged". Let's explore the etymology of each of these words separately:
1. Wast: "Wast" is the archaic second-person singular form of the verb "be" in the past tense. It comes from the Old English word "wǣre/wǣron", which meant "were". Over time, the ending "-st" was added, resulting in "wast". This form of the verb "be" was commonly used in Middle English but has largely become obsolete in contemporary English.
2. Divulged: "Divulged" is the past tense of the verb "divulge". It originated from the Latin word "divulgare", which meant "to make public" or "to publish".
