History
Etymology
Etymology tree Proto-Indo-European *weh1ros Proto-Germanic *wēraz Proto-West Germanic *wār Old English wær English weer Inherited from Old English wær, from Proto-West Germanic *wār, from Proto-Germanic *wēraz, from Proto-Indo-European *weh1ros. This word had always meant “true” ever since PIE times. It is cognate with German wahr, Dutch waar (“true”) and Latin verus (whence verity, verify and very), all likewise meaning “true”.
