fodder

Etymology

From Proto-Indo-European *peh₂- (‘to protect, guard; to graze, feed’) + *-dʰrom or *-tróm, the suffix equivalent to *-drą; or directly from the root of *fōdijaną (‘to feed’) and *fōdô (‘food’) (including the *d), from an extended form *peh₂-dʰ(h₁)- or *peh₂-t- of the same PIE root, + *-r-om. Cognate with Latin pābulum (‘food, fodder’) and possibly pānis (‘bread, food’).
