### Pronunciation

* (Vedic) IPA: /bʱɑːɳ.ɖɐ/
* (Classical Sanskrit) IPA: /ˈbʱɑːɳ.ɖɐ/

### Etymology 1

Of uncertain origin. Possibly from Proto-Indo-European *bʰond-o-m, a metathesized form of *bʰudʰmḗn (“bottom”); compare Latin fundus (“ground; foundation; estate, piece of land”). The semantic development, in this case, seems to be "bottom" > "an object with a large floor" > "vessel", whence the other meanings. However, this does not account for the retroflex cluster -ṇḍ-, characteristic of substrate borrowings (though the word's Vedic presence conversely increases the likelihood of Indo-European origin and dampens that of substrate origin).
