Etymology

From Danish verden, from Old Danish werdhen, originally singular definite form of wæræld, wærild, wærælde, from Old Norse verǫld, whence verd, from Proto-Germanic *weraldiz. The original indefinite form was rarely used so much so the definite form was interpreted as the indefinite form, hence the etymology. See: Danish Nouns 'verden', Old Norse Nouns 'verǫld'.
