Etymology
Ultimately from Latin fēnum, monophthongized variant of faenum, from Proto-Indo-European *dʰeh₁(y)-no-. Judging by the unexpected retention of /-n-/ (compare Old Portuguese fẽo), possibly borrowed from or influenced by Asturian fenu. The motive could have been to avoid homophony with feo (“ugly”), although this homophony is tolerated in Galician. See: Latin Nouns '
fēnum'.
