Where this word comes from
From a merger of Middle High German verderben (“to perish, die”) (strong verb) and verderben (“bring ruin to, kill, damage”) (weak verb); compare Middle Low German vordërven, Old Frisian forderva with the same senses. The former is from Old High German *farderban, inherited from Proto-West Germanic *fraderban, which is in turn from Proto-Germanic *derbaną (“to perish”).
