Origin of vega

From Spanish vega.

An invented word perhaps chosen to begin with "v" (for "volatility") and to sound as if it could be a Greek letter (like the related parameters "delta", "gamma" etc.)

From Medieval Latin, from Arabic وَاقِع (wāqiʕ, “falling”), from the expression النَّسْر الوَاقِع (an-nasr al-wāqiʕ, “falling eagle”). The active participle وَاقِع (wāqiʕ) derives from the verb وَقَعَ (waqaʕa, “fall, drop, tumble, alight, pounce”).
