Etymology

[edit]

Inherited from Old Spanish pender, from Latin pendēre, pendeō, from Proto-Italic *pendēō, from Proto-Indo-European *(s)pend- (to pull; to spin). That it was inherited is shown by medieval diphthongized conjugations such as piende or the past participle pendudo. Subsequently it became an increasingly rare and archaic term.[1]
