Short etymology:
Probably after St Veronica, the maiden who handed her handkerchief to Jesus on his way to Calvary. He wiped his brow and returned the handkerchief, which now bore his likeness and so was called vera-ikon = true likeness, and the maiden became St Veronica (Brewer). The allusion is obscure.
