Etymology 1

edit

From Proto-Italic *hundō or possibly *hʷundō (with fūsus for *fussus after fūdī), from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰu-né-d(H)-ti, from the root *ǵʰew-d(H)- (to pour), extended from *ǵʰew-.

The change h- > f- is irregular (before -u-? Weiss, Outline, p. 77f.) and could be explained by a variant *hʷundō. Cognates include Ancient Greek χέω (khéō) and Old English ġēotan. (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?)

Verb

edit

fundō (present infinitive fundere, perfect active fūdī, supine fūsum); third conjugation, limited passive

  1. (transitive) to pour out, shed
    Synonyms: effundō, confundō, diffundō, dēfundō, differō, indūcō, sternō, dissipō
  2. (military) to overthrow, overcome, rout, vanquish an enemy, rout, scatter
    Synonyms: conquestō, dēvincō, vincō, superō, domō, prōflīgō, caedō, obruō, prōsternō, sternō, opprimō, ēvincō, exsuperō, pellō, impellō, subiciō, premō, subigō, dissipō
  3. to throw or cast to the ground, prostrate
    Synonyms: prōsternō, sternō, prōflīgō, ruō
    • 29 BCE – 19 BCE, Virgil, Aeneid 1.192–193:
      nec prius absistit quam septem ingentia victor
      corpora fundat humī et numerum cum nāvibus aequet.
      Nor does it stop before [Aeneas], [as] victor, throws seven huge bodies to the ground, and equals the number with his ships.
      (The deer hunt shows Aeneas’s potential to be a military leader; note Virgil’s use of the present anticipatory subjunctive – “fundat” and “aequet” – to express purposeful actions.)
  4. (transitive) to found, make by smelting
  5. (transitive, figuratively) to moisten, wet
  6. (transitive) to extend, spread out
    Synonym: sternō
