Etymology

[edit]

From Proto-Indo-European *h₁weru-wokʷ- (far-sounding), compare Vedic Sanskrit उरूची (urūcī́), an epithet of the Earth, from *h₁uru-wkʷ- with the zero grade of both elements.

The conventional English translation ‘far-seeing’ comes from an alternative interpretation of the etymology in which the second element is *h₃ekʷ- (eye, to see).
