The wer- or were- in wer(e)wulf means “man” it
is related to Latin vir with the same meaning,
Meaning: Uncertain, but perhaps from Old English wer wulf, 'man-wolf'
Word History: The wolf in werewolf is current English; the were is not. Werewulf, “werewolf,” occurs only
once in Old English, about the year 1000, in the laws of King Canute: “lest the madly ravenous werewolf
too savagely tear or devour too much from a godly flock.” The wer- or were- in wer(e)wulf means “man” it
is related to Latin vir with the same meaning, the source of virile and virility. Both the Germanic and the Latin
words derive from Indo-European *wro-, “man.” Wer- also appears, though much disguised, in the word
world.
World is first recorded (written wiaralde) in Old English
in a charter dated 832; the form worold occurs in Beowulf. The Old English forms come from Germanic *wer-ald-,
“were-eld” or “man-age.” The transfer of meaning from the age of humans to the place where they live has a parallel in
the Latin
word saeculum, “age, generation, lifetime,” later “world.”
