Etymology
Many etymologies have been proposed. The leading theories find its roots in Maghrebi Arabic varieties, such as from Moroccan Arabic واش (wāš) (an interrogative particle), or through ellipsis of Algerian Arabic واش راك (wāš rāk, “what's up?”). Certain speakers and online dictionaries like L'internaute propose wesh as a "disformation" of French French ouais, though this theory is much less popular.
