Pronunciation

Etymology 1

    From Proto-Indo-European *h₂wer- (to cover), and related to Latin operiō (to cover, shut), Lithuanian suvérti (to shut).[1]

    Older theories derived the root from Proto-Indo-Aryan *war-, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *war-, from Proto-Indo-European *wer- (to cover, envelop), and connected the root to Scottish Gaelic fearann (estate, land), Avestan 𐬎𐬀𐬭𐬛𐬥𐬁 (uardnā, cover, envelope). Other theories connected the root to Proto-Indo-European *welH- (to turn, wind, coil).[2] These two Indo-European roots may have semantically influenced and merged with the Sanskrit (though Mayrhofer and Rix seem to reconstruct the *welH- as *wel- instead).[3]
