How Do You Spell WERT DELIVERED OF?

Pronunciation: [wˈɜːt dɪlˈɪvəd ɒv] (IPA)

The phrase "wert delivered of" is an archaic way of saying "were delivered of" - meaning gave birth to. The unusual spelling of "wert" is due to the use of an archaic form of the second person singular "you" in Early Modern English. The IPA transcription for "wert delivered of" is /wɜːt dɪˈlɪvəd əv/ where the "w" sound is followed by an open-mid central unrounded vowel, and the "d" sound is pronounced with an unstressed "schwa" sound.

WERT DELIVERED OF Meaning and Definition

  1. "Wert delivered of" is an archaic phrase derived from Middle English and early Modern English, and it is no longer commonly used in contemporary language. The phrase is a combination of several words, each of which contributes to its meaning.

    "Wert" is the second person singular past tense form of the verb "be." It is an outdated form and is equivalent to "were" in modern English.

    "Delivered" is the past tense of the verb "deliver." It refers to the action of bringing or handing over something to another person or place. In this context, it suggests the act of giving birth to a child.

    "Of" is a preposition that indicates a relationship, ownership, possession, or origin.

    When combined, "wert delivered of" implies that a person (using the second person singular pronoun "you") gave birth to a child or had a child born. The phrase specifically emphasizes the individual's role in delivering or bringing forth a baby. It conveys the concept of childbirth or parturition.

    Although this phrase may be encountered in older texts or literature, it is rare to find it in modern usage. Instead, contemporary English speakers typically employ simpler and more direct expressions to discuss childbirth or the act of giving birth to a child.
