köken: Unknown. De Vaan tentatively suggests it may go back to Proto-Italic *wasios, sharing a root *was- with vafer (“clever”); this etymology is also uncertain and the root lacks cognates outside of Italic. De Vaan also considers a derivation from Proto-Indo-European *h₁weh₂- (“to let, leave”) (the root of vārus, vānus, vāstus) but finds this unconvincing.
