Etymology

1. To the same root as Sanskrit वार् (vā́r), Tocharian B war (“water”), both derived from Proto-Indo-European *wódr̥ (through the "Kortlandt effect", which posits that *d becomes *h₁ under certain conditions); by extension to the same root as water.
2. Cognate to Old English wær (“sea”), Old Prussian wurs (“pool”); also Old Norse úr (“precipitation”), Old English ūrig (“moist”), Latin ūrīna (“urine”). See: Old English Nouns 'wær', Old Norse Nouns 'úr', Latin Nouns 'ūrīna'.
