From Proto-Germanic *Wōdanaz, derived from Proto-Germanic *wōdaz (rage, manic inspiration, furor poeticus), from Proto-Indo-European *weh₂t- (to be excited). Compare Old Norse óðr (rage) and Dutch woede (rage) and woeden (to rage), Irish fáidh, Latin vātēs. Doublet of Woden and Wotan. Related to English wode.
