Etymology
1. From Old Norse orð, from Proto-Germanic *wurdą, from Proto-Indo-European *werdʰo- (“word”), from Proto-Indo-European *werh₁- (“speak”).
2. Cognate with Old Frisian word, Old Saxon word, Dutch woord, Old High German wort (German Wort), Swedish ord, Gothic 𐍅𐌰𐌿𐍂𐌳 (waurd), and English word.
3. The Proto-Indo-European root is also the source of Latin verbum, Lithuanian vardas, and, more distantly, of Ancient Greek εἴρω (eírō, “to say”) and Old Church Slavonic ротити сѧ (rotiti sę, “to swear”) (Russian ротиться (rotitʹsja, “to vow”)). See: Old Norse Nouns '
