### Etymology

From earlier verre, from Middle Dutch verre, Old Dutch ferro, from Proto-West Germanic *ferrō, from Proto-Germanic *ferrai, from Proto-Indo-European *per- (“to go over”). Originally solely an adverb, adjectival usages represent a secondary development visible in many Germanic languages.
The now-obsolete sense of "by far" was already present in the Middle Dutch word, and survived until as late as the nineteenth century.
The inflected adjective form verre was historically sometimes re-formed as verde (see there for more).

## Latin
### Etymology

From Proto-Italic *wezor (stem *wezn-), from Proto-Indo-European *wósr̥ (“spring”). The original Italic form gave *veror, genitive *vēnis, with -s- lost before -n- with lengthening of the preceding vowel, as is usual in Latin. The -n- of the genitive stem was then replaced by the -r- of the nominative, and the genitive stem was then extended back to the nominative.
Cognate with Ancient Greek ἔαρ (éar), Old Norse vár, Lithuanian vasara, Sanskrit वसर् (vasar, “morning”) and वसन्त (vasantá, “spring”), Persian بهار (bahâr, “spring”), Old Armenian գարուն (garun), and Russian весна́ (vesná).

Let the Phrygian plains be left behind, Catullus, and the rich land of sweltering Nicaea: let us fly away to the famed cities of Asia. Now my fluttering soul yearns to wander; now my joyful feet come alive with eagerness. Farewell, dear bands of fellow travellers, whom, having left home at the same time, split paths carry home by different routes.
** c. 4th century, Tiberianus, Pervigilium Veneris 2:Vēr novum, vēr iam canōrum, vēre nātus orbis est.The spring is new, the spring is now melodious, in the spring was the world created.

This is one of three verbs to have an irregular indicative imperfect, alongside ser and ir.

In some old texts and in rural speech the archaic preterite forms vide and vido can be found instead of the current vi and vio forms.
