"varius" meaning in Latin

See varius in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Adjective

IPA: [ˈwa.ri.ʊs] [Classical-Latin], [ˈvaː.ri.us] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: Traditionally derived from vārus (“bent in; knock-kneed; different”) + -ius (“-y: forming adjectives”). De Vaan finds this connection somewhat unconvincing semantically, and hesitantly prefers a derivation from a Proto-Italic *wasios (which would have no certain cognates outside of Italic), linking the word to vafer (“clever”).
