Etymology

Nominal formation from *wundaz (“wounded”), from Proto-Indo-European *wn̥-tó-s, from a root *wen- (“to strive, toil, win”), invoking a sense of "toiled (in battle)". Kroonen considers the word related to *winnaną (“idem”), while Orel compares Welsh ymwan (“to battle”) and perhaps Old Armenian վանդեմ (vandem, “to destroy”). It is possible that all these terms are related to each other, as well.

Older theories derive the word from a Proto-Indo-European *h₂wn̥tós (“wounded”), from a Proto-Indo-European *h₂wen- (“to strike, injure, hurt”). (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?) (This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “proposed cognates under this theory? or is this a re-phrasing of the theory above?”)
