fe‧no
Pronounced as (IPA)
/ˈfẽ.nu/
Etymology
Ultimately from Latin fēnum, monophthongized variant of faenum, from Proto-Indo-European *dʰeh₁(y)-no-. Judging by the unexpected retention of /-n-/ (compare Old Portuguese fẽo), possibly borrowed from or influenced by Asturian fenu. The motive could have been to avoid homophony with feo (“ugly”), although this homophony is tolerated in Galician.
