Etymology

Nominal formation from *wundaz (“wounded”),[1] 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”),[2] while Orel compares Welsh ymwan (“to battle”) and perhaps Old Armenian վանդեմ (vandem, “to destroy”).[3] It is possible that all these terms are related to each other, as well.

Older theories derive the word from Proto-Indo-European *h₂wn̥tós (“wounded”), from 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?”)
