Where this word comes from
From Middle Dutch werf, warf, from Old Dutch *warf, from Proto-West Germanic [Term?]. Cognate with Old Saxon hwarba, Old High German -warf, Old Frisian hwarf, hwerf. Related to werven in its original meaning of "to turn" (compare the frequentative verb wervelen and the noun wervel, and see *hwerban); the semantic development is analogous to that between keer and keren, and see English turn.
