Etymology

From Proto-Italic *wergō, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂wérg-e-ti, from *h₂werg- (“to turn”). Compare Hittite [script needed] (ḫurki-, “wheel”), Ancient Greek ἐέργω (eérgō, “to stop, scare away”), Ancient Greek εἶρξαι (eîrxai, “to hold off”), Sanskrit वृणक्ति (vṛṇakti, “to turn around, ward off”), Sanskrit वर्क् (vark, “to turn, rotate”), Sanskrit वरीवृजत्- (varīvṛjat-, “bending again and again”, ptcp.), Sanskrit प्र वावृजे (pra vāvṛje, “is turned towards”), and Tocharian A wärkṣantāñ (“rotating”, ptcp.).[1] Acording to de Vaan, Latin vermina is from the same root.[2]
