Etimología (Inglés)

Of uncertain origin; proposed derivations include:
* From Proto-Indo-European *weǵʰ- (“to bring, transport”), the same root of via (“road”).
* From Proto-Indo-European *wenh₁- (“to love”), the same root of venēnum (“juice; venom”).
* From Proto-Indo-European *weyp- (“to shake, swing”), the same root of vibex (“weal, welt”).
* From a root common to Lithuanian gýsla (“vein”) and Russian жи́ла (žíla, “vein”).
* From Proto-Indo-European *h₂weh₁- (“to blow”), as veins are similar to air pipes.
* From Proto-Indo-European *wedʰ- (“to pledge, lead”).
* From a Proto-Indo-European *wes-no- (“of blood”), and cognate with Avestan 𐬬𐬀𐬢𐬵𐬎𐬙𐬁𐬝 (vaŋhutāt̰, “blood”), as well as perhaps Sanskrit वसा (vasā, “fat, lard”). This theory appears to be preferred by De Vaan.
