Meanings

fetter

Etymology

Possibly from pre-Germanic *ped-u-ró-s, a deverbal adjective from root *ped- (‘foot’). Grestenberger et al. (in press) argue that Proto-Germanic iterative r-verbs arose through the reanalysis of adjectival *(V)r-morphology as an event-modifying verbal suffix and consider the verbal adjective (such as this) as the source of these iterative r-verbs (in this case, *feturōną (‘to fetter, to chain, to bind together’).
