Origins
Of unclear origin. The LIV suggests that the term may have emerged from Proto-Indo-European *wréng-e-ti, a thematic present to a root of the shape *wreng-. Likewise, De Vaan proposes a possible connection with Proto-Germanic *wrankijaną (“to wring, twist”), which De Vaan also suggests to derive from a root *wreng- (“to turn, curve”). However, Kroonen relates the Germanic verb to Proto-Indo-European *wrengʰ-. Less likely, a pre-Latin but post-Proto-Indo-European onomatopoeic formation, compare Ancient Greek ῥέγκω (rhénkō, “to snore”). See also Proto-Slavic *reťi (“to cut, crack”).
