Alternative forms[edit]

Etymology[edit]

From earlier verre, from Middle Dutch verre, Old Dutch ferro, from Proto-West Germanic *ferrō, from Proto-Germanic *ferrai, from Proto-Indo-European *per- (“to go over”). Originally solely an adverb, adjectival usages represent a secondary development visible in many Germanic languages.

The now-obsolete sense of "by far" was already present in the Middle Dutch word, and survived until as late as the nineteenth century.

The inflected adjective form verre was historically sometimes re-formed as verde (see there for more).

Pronunciation[edit]

  • IPA(key): /vɛr/
  • audio (Holland)(file)
  • Hyphenation: ver
  • Rhymes: -ɛr

Adverb[edit]

  2. (obsolete) by far
    Synonym: verreweg
    Deze methode is ver de beste. ― This method is the best by far.

Adjective[edit]

ver

  1. true

Latin[edit]

Etymology[edit]

From Proto-Italic *wezor (stem *wezn-), from Proto-Indo-European *wósr̥ (“spring”). The original Italic form gave *veror, genitive *vēnis, with -s- lost before -n- with lengthening of the preceding vowel, as is usual in Latin. The -n- of the genitive stem was then replaced by the -r- of the nominative, and the genitive stem was then extended back to the nominative.[1]

Cognate with Ancient Greek ἔαρ (éar), Old Norse vár, Lithuanian vasara, Sanskrit वसर् (vasar, “morning”) and वसन्त (vasantá, “spring”), Persian بهار (bahâr, “spring”), Old Armenian գարուն (garun), and Russian весна́ (vesná).

  1. spring (season)

      iūcundīs Zephyrī silēscit aurīs.

      • Translation by Wikisource
        Now spring brings back the thawed-out warmth,
        now the raging of the equinoctial sky
        subsides with the sweet breezes of Zephyr.
        Let the Phrygian plains be left behind, Catullus,
        and the rich land of sweltering Nicaea:
        let us fly away to the famed cities of Asia.
        Now my fluttering soul yearns to wander;
        now my joyful feet come alive with eagerness.
        Farewell, dear bands of fellow travellers,
        whom, having left home at the same time,
        split paths carry home by different routes.
    • c. 4th century, Tiberianus, Pervigilium Veneris 2:

Conjugation[edit]

This is one of three verbs to have an irregular indicative imperfect, alongside ser and ir. Ver's imperfect is a remnant of the Old Spanish veer (only the stem ve- is irregular, otherwise the endings are still regular). In some old texts and in rural speech the archaic preterite forms vide and vido can be found instead of the current vi and vio forms.
