Etymology
First attested in 1518. Inherited from Old East Slavic вьрвь (vĭrvĭ) + -ъка (-ŭka) with secondary effect pleophony -ьr- > -ere-, perhaps from Proto-Slavic *vьrvъka, from *vь̑rvь. By surface analysis, вервъ (verv) + -ка (-ka). Compare Old Novgorodian вьрвъка (vĭrvŭka) and Middle Russian вере́вка (verévka), first attested c. 1500, whence Russian верёвка (verjóvka).
