'Deshita' is the past tense of 'desu'. 'Desu' is a copula in Japanese that acts much similar to 'to be' in English in its "linking verb/copula" role.

Example:

He is happy <-> Kare wa ureshii desu.

They were boring. <-> Aitsura wa tsumaranai deshita.

In addition to this sort of usage, it can also be used in other expressions/sentences to provide 'tense' for the phrase/expression.

Example:

Sumimasen deshita <-> I'm sorry. (About something that has already happened.)
