Origin of the word shalt

"Shalt" is the second person singular form of the verb "shall" in Old English. It originated from the Proto-Germanic word "*skulą," meaning "owe, be obliged."

"Shalt" is considered archaic today, primarily used in religious contexts or to evoke a formal, even poetic, tone.
