Etymology 2

Possibly a backformation based on viineke, an irregular dialectal variant of viileke ‎(“band, strap”), from the same root √viile- as viiltää ‎(“to slit”), from older *vije-. Though appearing in writing since the 16th century, the word is unattested in colloquial speech and may be an old literary coinage.
