A virge or verge (from Latin virga) is a type of rod, made of wood. == Etymology == Originally it was one or more branches (the French often use verges, the plural of its equivalent, as the normal word for a rod, the rarer singular verge rather indicates a switch) used as an instrument for corporal punishment, or as a riding crop.
