Did you know that the roots of the word "WAR" breaks down to something like "wants more cows"?

Answer 1

No, I don't think so. Check the following, from the Online Etymology Dictionary.


WAR
late O.E. (c.1050), wyrre, werre, from O.N.Fr. werre "war" (Fr. guerre), from Frank. *werra, from P.Gmc. *werso (cf. O.S. werran, O.H.G. werran, Ger. verwirren "to confuse, perplex"). Cognates suggest the original sense was "to bring into confusion."
