blest
/blɛst/
This word is an older way of spelling "blessed." In modern English, you will mostly find it in poetry, religious texts, or very old books rather than in everyday conversation. When used as a verb, it simply describes an action that happened in the past. When used as an adjective to describe someone's state of being, it carries a spiritual or heavenly tone.
