Походження

From Italian vagare (“wander”) and/or its source Latin vagārī (“to wander”), from Latin va

From Italian vagare (“wander”) and/or its source Latin vagārī (“to wander”), from Latin vagus (“wandering”). Later apparently reinterpreted in English as vague + -ery but without changing the spelling. By surface analysis, Latin vag(us) + -ary.
