vrille

common nounverb

Syllable Decomposition

vrille

From the Latin viticula (a tendril of a vine, a small vine), diminutive of vitis ("vine"). The transition from the Old French vedile or veile to the modern form with an 'r' is not well explained: it may be due to epenthesis or under the semantic influence of 'virer' (to turn).
