he English word war derives from the late old English (circa.1050) words wyrre and werre, from old Frence werre(also guerre as in modern French), in turn from the *werra, ultimately deriving from the *werzō 'mixture, confusion'. The word is related to thewerran, werran, and the Germanverwirren, meaning “to confuse”, “to perplex”, and “to bring into confusion”....


In German, the equivalent is Krieg(from Proto-Germanic *krīganą 'to strive, be stubborn'); the Spanish, and Italian term for "war" is guerra, derived like the Old French term from the Germanic word. Etymologic legend has it that the Romanic peoples adopted a foreign, Germanic word for "war", to avoid using the bellum, because, when sounded, it tended to merge with the sound of the word bello ("beautiful").
