Adjective

IPA: /ˈu̯a.fer/ [Classical], [ˈu̯äfɛr] [Classical], /ˈva.fer/ (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), [ˈväːfer] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: Possibly related to vabrum, but there is little evidence for this word. vafer could have been borrowed from a neighboring Italic dialect, from earlier *vaber, from Proto-Italic *wasro- (“versatile”), which could be from the root of varius (“varied”), or possibly otherwise from the root of vado (“I go, proceed”).
