Etymology

From findan + -ig; the former element is a verb from Proto-Germanic *finþaną (compare Dutch vinden, German finden, Swedish finna), a secondary verb from Proto-Indo-European *pontHo- (compare Old Irish étain (“I find”), áitt (“place”), Latin pōns (“bridge”), Ancient Greek πόντος (póntos, “sea”), Old Armenian հուն (hun, “ford”), Avestan (paθa) (gen. paþō), Sanskrit पथ (patha, “path”)). Compare to Swedish fyndig.
