Etymology tree Proto-Indo-European *weh₁ros Proto-Italic *wēros Latin vērus Proto-Indo-European *-eh₂ks Proto-Italic *-āks Latin -āx Classical Latin vērāxder. Early Medieval Latin vērāgus Old French veraibor. Middle English verray English very From Middle English verray, from Old French verai (“true”), from Early Medieval Latin vērāgus, from Classical Latin vērāx, derived from vērus, from Proto-Italic *wēros, from Proto-Indo-European *weh₁ros. Distantly cognate with Old English wǣr (“true”). Over time displaced the use of a number of Germanic words or prefixes to convey the sense 'very' such as fele, full-, mæġen, sore, sin-, swīþe, (partially) wel.
