Where this word comes from

Perhaps a fossilized verbal adjective with the suffix -undus from before the time when it became associated with the gerundive. The term might have originally belonged to a deponent verb *retōr, itself from *Hreth₂-. According to De Vaan, the *-e- would have shifted to o under the influence of rota. De Vaan also suggests that it could have once belonged to an o-grade present *(re)rot-.
