Etymology
From earlier fēnus. Possibly, from Proto-Italic *fēnos, from earlier *θēnos, from Proto-Indo-European *dʰeh₁(i)-n-os, from Proto-Indo-European *dʰeh₁(y)-, the same root of faenum, fēlīx, fēmina, fētus, thus lit. "that which is produced". Compare with the Ancient Greek use of τόκος (tókos).
