Etymologie (Englisch)

In summary

From Middle High German wërden, from Old High German werdan, from Proto-West Germanic *werþan, from Proto-Germanic *werþaną. Cognate with Dutch worden, obsolete English worth, Swedish varda, Norwegian Nynorsk verta, and also with Latin vertō (“to turn”). The use as a passive auxiliary is old and found throughout West Germanic, but the use as a future auxiliary is a Middle High German innovation. It originated in inchoative constructions with the present participle: er wirt lachende (“he starts laughing, is about to laugh, will laugh”). Since the 14th century, the participle began to be replaced with the infinitive, probably by analogy with the older future auxiliaries wollen (“will”) and sollen (“shall”). The last two have been displaced by werden in Modern German but survive dialectally.
