Where this word comes from
Inherited from Old Spanish responder, inherited from Latin respondēre (likely via Late Latin respondĕre). The original past participle was respuso or repuso in Old Spanish. The expected diphthongization of stressed Latin /ŏ/ is found in Asturian responder (that is, respuendo) and sporadically in Old Spanish as well.
