Where this word comes from

From Proto-Italic *fuiō, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰuH- (“to grow, become, come into being, appear”). Compare with fuī, originally the perfect of this verb but now attached to sum (“to be”); and constructions with -bō, -bam (e.g. amābō, placēbō, nocēbō, monēbam, audiēbam). The past participle is that of the verb faciō (“to make; to do”), via suppletion.
