Origins: ? (1)
Greek: none
Frequency: 15th most frequent letter in English (2)
"W" from Samuel Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language (1755): "Is a letter of which the form is not to be found in the alphabets of the learned languages; though it is not improbable that by our w is expressed the sound of the Roman v, and the Eolick f. Both the form and sound are excluded from the languages derived from the Latin." (3)
