Wyvern comes from the same root as viper, originally spelt with a w in Norman French.in response to the OP - I believe work originates from the Norse/Germanic/Anglo words orm/wyrm referring to serpent. translating to the common use of Worm when discussing Dragons/Serpents. - the Wy in Wyrm is possibly where the Wyvern originates from ? I'm just guessing that part though. maybe someone else knows?
