Attested in 1622 astaste, of uncertain origin:
- Contraction ofOld Norseþar(“when”) + relative pronounes + conjunctionat(“that”) >*tarst >tast. Old Norseþar corresponds to moderndar, and cf. the formdest attested elsewhere inOvansiljan, where the cognate todar isder.
- Contraction of elements corresponding toOld Norseþá(“then”) + relative pronounes, with a final-t perhaps from an encliticOld Norseat(“that”) ortil (>te), or perhaps secondary, as inwelest (cognate toOld Swedishvælis).
