Proto-West Germanic
Etymology
Uncertain; presumably from Proto-Germanic *funstiz, possibly:
- dissimilated from earlier *funkstiz, from Proto-Indo-European *pu-n-ǵ-stí-s, from *pewǵ- (“to punch, poke”), whence Latin pugnus (“fist”),[1]
- or from earlier *funhstiz[2], *funhwstiz,[3] from Proto-Indo-European *pn̥kʷ-stí-s,[4] from *pénkʷe (“five”).[5][6]
Perhaps also cognate with Proto-Slavic *pę̑stь (“fist”).
