Watching, |that word| seems important; so I found out a little more about it and share my findings with you below (and I link to the topic that brought the word up, and might discuss it beneath (and/or you might start a discussion in the comments)).
The proto-word |*wer-| can mean "to Cover, Perceive, Watch out for, Turn, Bend, Raise, Lift, Hold |Suspended," can have been built on ancient words that mean "Heavy, Weigh, Against, |Distaff, |Spindle, Fate or Destiny (lit. what |Befalls one), |Toward, Become, Roll, Changed, Translate, Transform,
"Convert, |Ladle, |Stirrer, Wheel, Turn Around or -Back, Keeper, Sentry, Watchman, Protection, Guarding, See, Fear, |Respect, Revere, Observe with |Awe, Defend, Defense, Enclosure, |Fence, |Dam, Field, Shut, Sealed, Open, Uncover, Wraps"
and helped to form the words "Aperture, Covert, Curfew, Discover, |Garage, Garment, |Garnish, |Garrison, |Guarantee, |Kerchief, Overt, Overture, |Pert, Warn, Warrant, Warranty, Warren, |Avant-garde, |Award, Aware, |Beware, Edward, Hardware, |Irreverence, Lord,
"|Panorama, Rearward, Regard, Reverence, Reverend, Reward, Software, |Steward, Ward, |Warden, Wardrobe, Wares, Warehouse, |Wary, |Adverse, Anniversary, |Avert, |Awry, |Controversy, Converge, Converse (|Exact Opposite),
"Diverge, Divert, Extroversion, Extrovert, Introvert, |Invert, |Inward, Peevish, |Pervert, Prose, Reverberate, |Revert, |Rhapsody, |Rhombus, |Stalwart, |Subvert, Universe, |Verge (to Tend, |Incline), |Vermicelli, Vermin, Versatile, Verse (Poetry), Version, Versus, |Vertebra,
"|Vertex, Vertigo, |Vortex, -ward, Warp, Weird, |Worm, Worry, Worth, |Wrangle, |Wrath, Wreath, |Wrench, Wrest, Wrestle, |Wriggle, |Wring, Wrinkle, |Wrist, |Writhe, Wrong, |Wry, Aerate, Aeration, Aerial, |Aero-, |Aerosol, Air, Airy, |Aorta, Anaerobic, |Aerobics, |Aria, |Arterial, |Arterio-, Arteriosclerosis, |Artery, |Aura, Malaria, |Meteor."
... and I have to mention that a lot of help (a share of revenue, extra topics from magazines & advertising, etc.) comes from WowApp: Using the Wowism Community's Fairness to Prevail over Economic Greed
