Étymologie (Anglais)
In summary
Borrowed from Middle Scots wraith, first attested in 1513 as a translation of the Aeneid. The word has no certain etymology; it may be a transferred use of Middle Scots wraith, wrath (nominally "anger, rage", adjectivally "angry, wrathful"), thus connecting it to writhe and making it doublet of wrath and wroth.
