Where this word comes from

Of uncertain origin. De Vaan is skeptical of connections to Proto-Indo-European *(s)penh₁- (“to spin, weave”) due to semantic vagueness and leaves the origin open, while older theories have connected the word with spondeō (“to promise, guarantee”) (thus a pledging of oneself to a thing; hence, opp. to external necessity or inducement, of free will, of one's own accord); the latter theory appears more semantically reasonable.
