Étymologie (English)
In summary
Inherited from Old Spanish biespa, from Latin vespa, from Proto-Indo-European *wobʰseh₂ (“wasp”), from *webʰ- (“to weave”). The initial /a/ may have been added by analogy with abeja (“bee”). For the development of the stressed vowel, compare víspera, níspero. Doublet of vespa.
