"fend" meaning in Albanian

See fend in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Verb

IPA: /ˈfend/, [ˈfənt] [Tosk] Forms: fenda [aorist], fendur [participle], fên [alternative], fënd [alternative], fënt [alternative]
Rhymes: -end Etymology: Whether fendë (“fart”) derives from fend or viceversa is unclear. Ultimate origin may be: # Possibly from a tentative root Proto-Indo-European *sp(ʰ)end- (“to twitch, wriggle”) whence also Ancient Greek σφαδάζω (sphadázō, “to shiver, tremble”), Sanskrit स्पन्द् (spand, “to quiver, shake”). # A connection with Venetan fiandrina (“fart”) is not enough substantiated. # Alternatively analysable as a back-formation of fënduk (“cowardly, timid”), which may be borrowed from Ottoman Turkish فندق (funduk, fındık, literally “hazelnut”), also attested dialectally meaning “arse; flirtatious woman”, compare Aromanian fãndãc, fãndec (“arse”).
