Etymology
Originally a strong verb of the seventh class, the long -n- comes from an earlier form *spanwaną-. Perhaps ultimately an ablautive form from the same source as *spinnaną (“to spin”), though Kroonen alternatively derives the verb from a Proto-Indo-European *spend- (“to stretch”), comparing Lithuanian spę́sti (“to snare”), Latvian spanda (“strap”), Old Church Slavonic спѫдъ (spǫdŭ, “corn-measure, measure, peck”).
