• (Classical) IPA^(key): /ˈfun.doː/, [ˈfʊn̪d̪oː]
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /ˈfun.do/, [ˈfun̪d̪o]

From Proto-Italic *hundō (with fūsus for *fussus after fūdī), from earlier *xundō and a possible variant *xʷundō (to differentiate them from a later form *hundō if the shift */x/ > */h/ in the Italic languages already happened during late Proto-Italic), from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰewd-.

The change h- > f- is irregular (before -u-? Weiss, Outline, p. 77f.) and could be explained by the variant *xʷundō. Cognates include Ancient Greek χέω (khéō) and Old English ġēotan.

   • 29 BCE – 19 BCE, Virgil, Aeneid 1.192–193:

     nec prius absistit quam septem ingentia victor
     corpora fundat humī et numerum cum nāvibus aequet.

     Nor does it stop before [Aeneas], [as] victor, throws seven huge bodies to the ground, and equals the number with his ships.
     (The deer hunt shows Aeneas’s potential to be a military leader; note Virgil’s use of the present anticipatory subjunctive – “fundat” and “aequet” – to express purposeful actions.)
