"etymology_text": "Borrowed from Middle French verge (“rod or wand of office”), hence \"scope, territory dominated\", from Latin virga (“shoot, rod stick”), of unknown origin. Earliest attested sense in English is now-obsolete meaning \"male member, penis\" (c.1400). Modern sense is from the notion of 'within the verge' (1509, also as Anglo-Norman dedeinz la verge), i.e. \"subject to the Lord High Steward's authority\" (as symbolized by the rod of office), originally a 12-mile radius round the royal court, which sense shifted to \"the outermost edge of an expanse or area.\" Doublet of virga.",
