Origin of the word v

The letter "V" has a long history, tracing back to the ancient Phoenician alphabet. The Phoenician letter, called "waw," represented the sound "w". The Greeks adopted this letter, but they pronounced it as a vowel, "u" or "y." The Romans adapted the Greek letter, using it for both the "u" sound and the "v" sound, which they initially pronounced similarly. Over time, the "v" sound became distinct, and the letter "V" was assigned to represent it.
