Latin

Etymology

Of unclear origin, probably from a Proto-Indo-European *wreng- (to turn, curve), and compared to Proto-Germanic *wrankijaną (to wring, twist), though the Germanic is thought to be an internal derivation from a different verb which cannot be cognate via application of sound laws.

Less likely, a pre-Latin but post-Proto-Indo-European onomatopoeic formation, compare Ancient Greek ῥέγκω (rhénkō, to snore). See also Proto-Slavic *reťi (to cut, crack).
