From Proto-Indo-European *wat- (“curved”). Cognate with vatius (“bow-legged”), Proto-Germanic *waþwô (“curve, bend; calf of the leg, knee”).
The orthography was emended to vatrāx because it was supposedly derived from βάτραχος (bátrakhos, “frog”). It appears under this spelling in Lewis and Short.
Third-declension one-termination adjective.
