Proto-Slavic[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From Proto-Balto-Slavic *werˀź-, *wirˀź- (whence Lithuanian vìržis (“heather”), Latvian vir̂zis (“heather”)), from an unknown non-Indo-European substrate source. Cognates include Proto-Celtic *wroikos and Ancient Greek ἐρείκη (ereíkē, “heather”).[1][2]
Pokorny suggests a connection to *vьrša (“fishing basket”), see also Ancient Greek ῥίμφα (rhímpha, “fast, quickly”).[3]
