Étymologie (Anglais)

Inherited from Vulgar Latin *virāre, probably from Latin vibrāre (in which case it is a doublet of vibrer) or possibly from an alteration of gȳrō. Compare Italian virare, Spanish virar. Or, possibly from Gaulish *viru (“to deviate, veer off”), itself derived from viros (“round, crooked”).
