Where this word comes from

From two separate but related verbs. From Middle High German verwīsen (“refer; relegate; expel, banish”), derivative of wīsen, whence German weisen; and the second verb from Middle High German verwīȥen (“blame, accuse”), from Old High German farwīȥan, firwīȥan, from Proto-West Germanic *frawītan, from Proto-Germanic *frawītaną. By surface analysis, ver- + weisen.
