Etymology: Disputed: * Perhaps related to εἴρω (eírō, “I string together”) + -μᾰ (-ma). * Alternatively, cognate with Sanskrit वर्ष्मन् (varṣman, “protrusion, summit, peak, top, vertex”), from Proto-Indo-European *wérsmn̥ (“protrusion, bump, hill, summit, peak, top”) and, via the root *wers- (“to rise, protrude; peak”), Lithuanian viršus (“top”), Old Church Slavonic врьхъ (vrĭxŭ, “top, peak”), and probably Proto-Germanic *wartǭ (“wart”). Though, the Mycenaean Greek cognate 𐀁𐀔𐀲 (e-ma-ta /⁠*hérmata⁠/, “straps, pl.”) lacks the expected initial */w/. * A conflation of these two.
