Etymology
From Proto-Indo-European *(s)pénh₁-ne-, from *(s)penh₁- (‘to spin thread, plait, weave, sew; to stretch’). Cognate with Proto-Balto-Slavic *pínˀtei (‘to stretch’), and Old Armenian հենում (henum, ‘to weave, sew together’). Potentially a doublet of *spannaną (‘to stretch, tighten, fasten’) and/or *fanô (‘cloth’).
