In summary

From Middle High German würze (ca. 1300). The form could go back through Old High German *wurza to a possible Proto-West Germanic *wurtiju, for which speaks Old Saxon wurtia. However, Pfeifer considers it a collective use of the plural of wurz (“herb, spice”), from Proto-Germanic *wrōts, *wurtiz, merged with Middle and Old High German wirz (“beerwort”), from Proto-Germanic *wirtiz, itself an ablaut variant of the former (compare Middle Low German werte, Old Norse virtr). See also Gewürz.
