Origin

Old English wyrsa, wiersa (adjective), wiers (adverb), of Germanic origin; related to war.

war from Middle English:
Before the mid 12th century there was no English word exactly meaning war, nor did any of their Germanic relatives have one despite their warlike reputation. The word came over from Old French guerre and is related to worse (Old English). The Guerre itself is of Germanic origin, and originally meant ‘confusion, discord’.
