Origin of the word hast

The word "hast" is the second-person singular present tense form of the verb "have" in Old English. It originated from the Proto-Germanic word "habēþ," which itself derived from the Proto-Indo-European word "gʰébʰ-," meaning "to seize, grasp, take." "Hast" was commonly used in English literature and poetry up until the 18th century, but it's now considered archaic. While not used in everyday speech, it still appears in some formal contexts, especially religious or literary works.
