In summary

Inherited from Vulgar Latin *virāre, probably from Latin vibrāre (in which case it is a doublet of vibrar). Other possibilities include an alteration of gȳrō (source of the synonym girar) or a derivation from Gaulish *viru (“to deviate, veer off”), itself derived from viros (“round, crooked”). Compare Italian virare, French virer.
