From Old Spanish pender, from Latin pendēre, present active infinitive of pendeō, from Proto-Italic *pendēō, from Proto-Indo-European *(s)pend- (“to pull; to spin”). The Old Spanish form was popularly inherited (evidenced by diphthongized conjugated forms such as piende and past participle pendudo), but the current form of some of its inflections may be the result of later learned modification.[1].
