Proto-Celtic
Etymology
Perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *windo-, nasal infix of Proto-Indo-European *weyd- (“to see”). However, Matasović refrains from assigning any etymology, only mentioning French vandoise (“dace, cub”), saying that it is itself probably a Gaulish borrowing. Other theories relating the Celtic to Proto-Germanic *wintruz (“winter”) are not very semantically convincing.
