Etymology: From Proto-Vietic *veːr (“to return”), from Proto-Mon-Khmer *wir (“to go around, to turn around”); cognate with Muong wềl, Khmu wer ("to roll, to turn to the opposite end") and Khmer វេរ (vei). There are a wide range of words with similar forms and meanings to this word across the Austroasiatic family. Most prepositions in Vietnamese were originally verbs: ở (“to stay; at, in”), đến (“to come; to”), tới (“to arrive; to”), lên (“to go up; onto”), vào (“to enter; in, into”), theo (“to follow; according to”), cho (“to give; for”).

There are a wide range of words with similar forms and meanings to this word across the Austroasiatic family.\nMost prepositions in Vietnamese were originally verbs: ở (“to stay; at, in”), đến (“to come; to”), tới (“to arrive; to”), lên (“to go up; onto”), vào (“to enter; in, into”), theo (“to follow; according to”), cho (“to give; for”).",
