Etymology

From Middle Dutch vlonder, from Old Dutch *flonder, from Proto-West Germanic *flonþr. Has also occasionally been seen as a by-form of vonder, but this is controversial.[1] This latter hypothesis has most recently been advocated for by de Vaan, who argues that it is very unlikely that the two words do not share an origin, and argues for an ultimate derivation from Proto-Indo-European *pent-, whence also e.g. Latin pōns (“bridge”), English path.[2]
