Here is the famous 'Othello' Quote, (a self character study):
" Then Must You speak of one
That loved not wisely
But Too well;
One noT Easily Jealous
But being Wrought,
Perplexed in the extreme'.
The word, 'Wrought' is in the past form and means 'cause something (the change) to happen'. Do you know what is the Present Form of this verb 'Wrought' & whether it is in use?
Over To you, Friends,.

I had always thought that 'wrought' was the past tense and past participle of 'wreak'. Your question made me look up 'wreak' in the dictionary. I was amazed to find that I was wrong.
However, mine seems to be a common error, for my dictionary warns, "the past tense of the verb 'wreak' is 'wreaked', as in 'torrential rainstorms wreaked havoc', NOT 'wrought' . When 'wrought' is used in the phrase 'wrought havoc', it is in fact an archaic past tense of 'work'.
The origin of 'wrought' is shown as "archaic past and past participle of WORK".
[ Incidentally, the origin of 'wreak' is: "Old English, 'drive (out )', 'avenge'; related to 'wreck' and 'wretch' " !! ]
Thank you, for you wrought a change in my understanding of 'wreak' and 'wrought'!

The dictionary gives "Work" as the present form. Off the top off my head I have said "Fashion). Good question: have a star.
