Etymology

[edit]

From French vague, German vage, English vague, all from Latin vagus.

The initial s- is of unclear origin, probably added to avoid collision with vagi, possibly inspired by Italian svagare (amuse, distract) and svagato (absent-minded, distracted), or by Swedish svag (weak), Danish svag (weak).
