EtymologyEdit

From Vulgar Latin *virō, probably from Latin vibrō (in which case it is a doublet of vibrar). Other possibilities include an alteration of gȳrō (source of the synonym girar) or a derivation from Gaulish *viru (to deviate, veer off), itself derived from viros (round, crooked). Compare Italian virare, French virer.
