'vine' originates from Old French, specifically the word 'vigne', which ultimately comes from Latin 'vinea' where 'vinea' meant 'vineyard' or 'vine'.

'vinea' in Latin transformed into Old French 'vigne', which entered Middle English and evolved into the modern English word 'vine'.

Initially it referred to a 'vineyard' or the cultivated vine ('vinea'), and over time the word came to refer more broadly to the climbing or trailing plant (the 'vine') in modern English.
