Where this word comes from

On the surface appears to be the same root as vermis (“worm”) + -men, but De Vaan believes this is a folk-etymological association and that it derives from the root of vergō (“to turn”), pointing to Proto-Italic *wergmen. (Note the parallel historical semantics of tormina).
