How Do You Spell WAST ABOUT?
Pronunciation: [wɒst ɐbˈa͡ʊt] (IPA) 
The correct spelling of the phrase "wast about" is a bit tricky as it belongs to Early Modern English. The pronunciation of "wast" can be transcribed as /wɑːst/, with a long "a" sound and silent "s." The word "about" is pronounced as /əˈbaʊt/ with the schwa sound in the first syllable, a diphthong "au" in the second syllable, and a silent "t" in the end. When combined, "wast about" means "was around" and is commonly found in Shakespearean literature.
