Explain number four etymology

The English word "four" comes from Old English "fēower", which is of Germanic origin. It is related to similar
words in other Germanic languages such as German "vier" and Dutch "vier". The origin of the Proto-
Germanic word is uncertain, but it may be related to the Proto-Indo-European root "kʷetwōr", which also
gave rise to words for "four" in other Indo-European languages such as Latin "quattuor" and Sanskrit
"catvāra".
