Etymology

Inherited from Old East Slavic вьрвь (vĭrvĭ) + -ка (-ka), from Proto-Slavic *vьrvь (deverbal of *verti), from Proto-Indo-European *wer- (to tie, string; rope) which is ultimately cognate with *wer- (to turn, bend) whence the two meanings of the verb. Compare Belarusian вяроўка (vjaróŭka), Ukrainian верве́чка (vervéčka), Old Church Slavonic връвь (vrŭvĭ). Non-Slavic cognates include Lithuanian virvė, Latvian virve, Latgalian vērve (rope, cord, line), Ancient Greek ἐρύω (erúō, I drag, pull) and Sanskrit वरत्रा (varatrā).
