Etymology

Varient of POUND, (animal enclosure), from Old English PUND. POND spelling might possibly be influenced by Classical PONTIS (poetic for sea); but PUND, in this sense is either related to Old English *PENNIAN (fasten) = Low German PENNEN, (to bolt a door), from PENN, (pin or peg). Compare Greek PANTHER (net for every wild animal) <PAN (every) + THĒROS (wild animal) ; or of Celtic origin, or even of Iberian origin, from root of Cornish PANS, BANS, (dingle), ultimately related to Spanish PANTANO.
