Etymology

Inherited from Old Czech peniez, from Proto-Slavic *pěnędzь, which was borrowed from some Germanic term, probably from Old High German phenning (“a kind of coin”), which comes from an older form phendig, phending. An older origin is not clear, sometimes it has been connected with Latin pondus (“weight”).[1] Compare Czech pence, English penny and German Pfennig.
