Etimologia (Inglese)

Unknown. Possibly from Middle Dutch waut, wout (“authority, power”), from Proto-Germanic *waldą. Related with Dutch geweld (“violence”). Another theory considers it a backformation from wauwtje, diminutive of the attested byform wauw. This could be linked, if only by conjecture, with wouw (“kite”), from comparison with a bird of prey.
