Etimologie (Engels)

Geërf van Middle High German: vundelinc

In summary

From Middle High German vundelinc (“foundling”), equivalent to modern Fund (“a find, finding”) + -ling; later altered after the verb finden (“to find”). The Middle High German form corresponds exactly to Middle Dutch vondelinc (whence Dutch vondeling), Middle Low German vundelink, Middle English fundeling (whence English foundling). These terms may be cognate through West Germanic, though it is noteworthy that none of the languages has an attestation in the oldest stage.
