Where this word comes from

Etymology tree Proto-Indo-European *dʰegʷʰ- Proto-Indo-European *dʰogʷʰéyeti Proto-Italic *θoɣʷejō Proto-Italic *foɣʷeō Latin foveō Inherited from Proto-Italic *foɣʷeō, from earlier *θoɣʷejō, from Proto-Indo-European *dʰogʷʰéyeti, from *dʰegʷʰ- (“to warm”). The perfect form may have evolved from earlier *fowe-wai. The perfect participle probably reflects earlier *fovitos, which would have undergo syncope in all the case forms except for the nominative singular and the old genitive plural in *-om.
