tast

1. first-, second- and third-person singular present indicative of tasten
2. imperative of tasten

Attested in 1622 as taste, of uncertain origin:

• Contraction of Old Norse þar (“when”) + relative pronoun es + conjunction at (“that”) > *tarst > tast. Old Norse þar corresponds to modern dar, and cf. the form dest attested elsewhere in Ovansiljan, where the cognate to dar is der.
• Contraction of elements corresponding to Old Norse þá (“then”) + relative pronoun es, with a final -t perhaps from an enclitic Old Norse at (“that”) or til (> te), or perhaps secondary, as in welest (cognate to Old Swedish vælis).

• IPA^(key): /tɑst/
