The letter V, but friendlier — like V went to a party and got a nickname.
means The informal spoken name for the letter V, used when writing or spelling it out loud.
from From the Roman letter V itself, which the Romans adapted from Greek upsilon (Y-shaped) through Etruscan, originally representing the sound 'u' before splitting into our modern U, V, W, and Y. The name 'vee' is simply the English letter-name pattern — most consonants get an '-ee' or similar vowel tacked on (bee, cee, dee) so we can say them aloud without them collapsing into a hiss.
