"etymology_text": "Inherited from Old Norse fendinn (“the Devil”), probably from Old Frisian fandiand (“tempter”), the present participle of fandia (“to tempt”), from Proto-Germanic *fandōną (“to seek, search for, examine”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *pent- (“to pass; path”).\nAlternatively, the late Old Norse form may have developed from or been influenced by older fjándi (“enemy; devil”), definite fjándinn. On this analysis, compare *fijandz (“enemy, fiend”), the present participle of *fijāną (“to hate”), ultimately from *peh₁- (“to hate, hurt”). The two formations may have influenced one another.\nCompare Norwegian Nynorsk fanden, Danish fanden and Swedish fan (“the Devil; curse word”).",

"etymology_text": "Inherited from Old Norse fendinn (“the Devil”), probably from Old Frisian fandiand (“tempter”), the present participle of fandia (“to tempt”), from Proto-Germanic *fandōną (“to seek, search for, examine”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *pent- (“to pass; path”).\nAlternatively, the late Old Norse form may have developed from or been influenced by older fjándi (“enemy; devil”), definite fjándinn. On this analysis, compare *fijandz (“enemy, fiend”), the present participle of *fijāną (“to hate”), ultimately from *peh₁- (“to hate, hurt”). The two formations may have influenced one another.\nCompare Norwegian Nynorsk fanden, Danish fanden and Swedish fan (“the Devil; curse word”).",
