Etymology 1

Unknown. The only cognate found is West Frisian waarje. Perhaps related to Old High German wadalōn (to roam, wander); if so, related to Proto-West Germanic *wāan (to blow (of wind)); compare modern German Wallfahrt (pilgrimage). Or, related to Old English wāþ (wandering, hunt), from Proto-West Germanic *waiþu (wandering, hunt).[1]
