Etymology
In summary
From Late Middle High German spunt m or n (meaning both bung-hole and bung), probably (ultimately) from Latin expūnctum (expungere), whence Middle Low German spunt, Middle Dutch spond (→ spondgat), Dutch spon. Originally only with the meaning of bung-hole (German Spundloch, Anstichöffnung). Possibly through an Italian intermediate spunta.
