     Is the pope Catholic? Forgive the posing of a question that is usually rhetorical, the absolute benchmark of certainty, and traditionally regarded as even more settled than the one pertaining to the lavatorial arrangements of bears.

3. (computing) A computer program that is executed to assess the performance of the runtime environment.

1. wave

Latin

Etymology

De Vaan connects this word to Umbrian ???????????????? (utur, “water”), suggesting a direct origin from Proto-Indo-European *wódr?.

The resemblance to Proto-Germanic *unþ? (“wave”) appears to be accidental, with at most minor semantic confluence.
