vogare
Italian
Etymology
Uncertain; probably related to French vogue, meaning "wave; course of success", and the verb voguer (“travel through the water”), and possibly of Germanic origin[1], from a root *wagōną. Probably ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *weǵʰ- (“to move, go, transport”). Compare Spanish bogar, Catalan and Portuguese vogar, Sicilian vucari. An alternative theory derives it from Latin vocō, vocāre (“call”)[2][3][4]. Cf. also Ancient Greek βαυκάλη (baukálē).
