-bundus
See also: bundus
Latin
Etymology
From Proto-Indo-European *bʰuH- (“to become, to grow”) (whence also fīō, fuī, futūrus and other verb forms of esse starting with fu-). Perhaps from Proto-Italic *-βūontnos < syncopated from *-βūontinos, from the Proto-Indo-European aorist participle *bʰuHónt- + *-(i)nós. The development of the Latin gerundive and later gerund has been traced to analogous derivations from the Proto-Indo-European *-ont- (participial suffix) + *-(i)nós (adjective-forming suffix) in secundus, oriundus, rotundus, and lābundus.[1] Compare -undus and -cundus.
