Etymology

From earlier *vě̀verь, from Proto-Balto-Slavic *wēweris, cognate to Lithuanian voverė, voverìs, vėverìs (“squirrel”), Latvian vāvere (“squirrel”), Old Prussian weware (“squirrel”), Persian وروره (varvarah) Welsh gwiwer, Latin vīverra, from Proto-Indo-European *we-wer- (“squirrel, marten”), a reduplicated form of the root *wer- (“to wrap, to turn”) (with secondary meaning “to brew, to boil”). The name has been derived because of the typical agile locomotion of squirrels, compare Polish wiercipięta (“squirrel, fidget”), from Proto-Slavic *vьrtě̀ti, from Proto-Balto-Slavic *wirtḗˀtei, from Proto-Indo-European *wr̥t-éh₁-ti, from *wert-, from the same root *wer- (“to wrap, to turn”).
