Origin of the word canst

"Canst" is the archaic second-person singular form of the verb "can," meaning "to be able." It originated in Old English as "canst," a contraction of "can + -st," the "-st" being the grammatical ending for the second person singular. The "-st" ending was common in Old and Middle English for verb conjugations, but it gradually disappeared in Modern English, with "can" becoming the standard form for both singular and plural. "Canst" is now primarily used in poetic, archaic, or formal contexts, evoking a sense of formality or historical setting.
