Origins
From Proto-Italic *wors-o-, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *wers- (“to wipe, to drag on the ground”). Compare Hittite [Term?] (/warš/, “pluck, reap”), Albanian zvarrë (“drag on the ground”), Ancient Greek ἔρρω (érrhō, “to move slowly, limp”), Old Norse vǫrr (“stroke”), Latvian vârsms (“heap of corn, grain”).
