Etymology

[edit]

From Proto-Balto-Slavic *wirˀtei, from Proto-Indo-European *wer- (to burn). Compare Latvian vir̂t (to boil), Proto-Slavic *vьrěti (to boil), Hittite [script needed] (urāni, burns).[1]

An older theory from Pokorny suggests derivation from Proto-Indo-European *h₂wer- (water, rain, flow); see the Latin river Avara.[2]
