Etymology
وَفْر comes from the Arabic triliteral root و-ف-ر (w-f-r), which carries the core sense of being plentiful or ample. The word is the masdar, or verbal noun, of the verb وَفَرَ, meaning to be abundant or to increase. This is a native Semitic root, not an Indo-European one, so it has no PIE ancestor.
