Etymology edit

From Proto-Mordvinic *veśə, inherited from Proto-Uralic *we(ń)ćɜ (every, all, whole). Cognate with Udmurt воч (voć), Komi-Zyrian вач (vać), possibly with Hungarian össze (together).

The Uralic word may be ultimately of Indo-Iranian origin; compare Proto-Iranian *wícwah (all, every; whole).
