verge

/vɛʁʒ/

noun, feminine/vɛʁʒ/plural: verges

rod; penis (male sexual organ); yard (three feet)

Synonyms: pénis

Inherited from Middle French verge (“rod or wand of office”), hence "scope, territory dominated", from Old French verge, virge, from Latin virga (“shoot, rod stick”), of uncertain origin, but probably from a Proto-Indo-European *wisgeh₂ (“flexible rod or stick”). Doublet of vergue.
