Proto-Germanic

Etymology

Orel suggests it's derived from *fōdô (“food”) +‎ *-janą.[1] Kroonen assumes it is a causative verb derived from a lost strong verb *faþaną, from pre-Germanic *ph₂t- a zero-grade present form of Proto-Indo-European *peh₂- (“protect, guard, graze, feed”) extended with *-t-. Compare Ancient Greek πατέομαι (patéomai, “to eat”).[2]
