Where this word comes from

Disputed. The e-grade of the Latin term is unusual for a causative form. De Vaan posits the verb may be derived from an adjective Proto-Italic *weg-o- (“active, alive, awake”). Alternatively, it may derive from Proto-Italic *wogeō, itself from Proto-Indo-European *woǵéyeti, from the root *weǵ-. The change from initial *wo- to *we- possibly follows a development seen in Latin vester, itself from voster. However, other examples of Latin terms such as volō and vorō indicate that such a change did not occur in terms with the structure *voCV-. Furthermore, the term does not follow the sound development *voCV- to *vaCV- seen in other Latin terms. Sihler argues that the unusual vowel development can be traced to "contamination."
