Where this word comes from

Etymology tree Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰew- Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰewd- Proto-Indo-European *-né- Proto-Indo-European *-ti Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰunédti Proto-Italic *hundō Latin fundō From Proto-Italic *hundō, from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰu-né-d-ti ~ *ǵʰu-n-d-énti, nasal infix present of the root *ǵʰew-d- (“to pour”), extended from *ǵʰew-. The change from Proto-Italic *h- to Latin f- is unique to this word; Weiss takes it as regular before *-u-. The perfect form fūdī is potentially the continuation of a PIE root aorist *ǵʰéwd-t ~ *ǵʰud-ént. The perfect participle fūsus could continue an earlier participle *ǵʰud-tós. Cognates include Ancient Greek χέω (khéō) and Gothic 𐌲𐌹𐌿𐍄𐌰𐌽 (giutan).
