In Georgian, the word "uari" (უარი) means "refusal" or "denial." In Megrelian, "varoba" (ვარობა) carries the same meaning. Both originate from the word "vari", meaning "however"—a word of opposition.
Now, imagine an army approaches a city and demands: "Let us in and hand over your food and money."
The response? "Uari" (refusal).
And in such cases, what does refusal mean? Of course—war.
