Probably from Proto-Indo-European *bʰudʰmḗn, the same root of πυθμήν (puthmḗn, “bottom”) and Latin fundus (“bottom”). However the medial "-νδ-" is highly problematic, as well as the initial "π-" instead of "φ-" (since it was no longer followed by "θ").
πύνδᾰξ • (púndax) m (genitive πύνδᾰκος); third declension
