werd

Werd is a slang form of the English word "word," used as an interjection to acknowledge or affirm something. It originated in African American Vernacular English and became popular in hip-hop culture and online communities in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Variants such as "word" and "werd" are used to mean "I agree," "that's true," or simply as a casual greeting or response. In conversation, people may say "werd" to indicate understanding or solidarity, or use phrases like "word up" to emphasize emphasis. In writing, "werd" is typically a playful or informal spelling that signals a casual tone.

Werd is also the name of a municipality in Switzerland. It is located in the canton of Aargau, in the district of Zurzach. The municipality is German-speaking and characterized by a rural landscape and small, local governance structures. As a proper noun, the name is unrelated to the slang and is used in historical and administrative contexts.
