Where this word comes from

By surface analysis, sub- (“under, within”) + *fiō. The latter component may derive from Proto-Indo-European *dʰewh₂- (“to smoke”), whence also fūmus (“smoke, steam”) and fūlīgō (“soot”). It is perhaps possible that a yé-present of the shape *dʰuh₂-yé-ti would have yielded Proto-Italic *fūjō, whence *fījō due to the pius-Law. Alternatively, a development of *dʰuh₂-yé-ti to Proto-Italic *dʰwījō, whence *fiō has been suggested.
