Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French redounder; Latin redundāre.

Etymology: < Anglo-Norman redounder, Anglo-Norman and Middle French redonder, redunder (French (now rare and literary) rédonder ) to be plentiful, abound (first quarter of the 13th cent. in Old French), (of a bodily fluid) to overflow (1314), to have the effect of contributing to some advantage or disadvantage to (a person) (late 14th cent. in redonder à , redonder en , early 15th cent. in redonder sur ), to proceed, arise from something (early 15th cent. in redonder de ), in Anglo-Norman also to resound, re-echo (second half of the 13th cent. or earlier), to rebound (end of the 13th cent. or earlier), to return, to come back (early 14th cent. or earlier) and its etymon classical Latin redundāre to flow back, to overflow, to spread over, to turn (to one's profit, loss, etc.), to recoil (upon), to be present to excess, to abound (in) < red- , variant (before a vowel) of re- re- prefix + undāre to flow in waves (see undation n.). Compare Catalan redundar (15th cent.), Spanish redundar (late 14th cent.), Portuguese redundar (1587), Italian ridondare (a1306; also †redondare , †redundare ), all earliest in sense 2a.The β. forms show loss of final -d . In the obsolete uses the precise sense is not always clear; in senses 3 and 5 there is probably some confusion with rebound v. (see discussion at that entry). Französisches etymol. Wörterbuch at redundare suggests that the French word in the sense ‘to rebound’ and related senses may show a different, ultimately imitative, origin.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French redounder; Latin redundāre. Etymology: < Anglo-Norman redounder, Anglo-Norman and Middle French redonder, redunder (French (now rare and literary) rédonder ) to be plentiful, abound (first quarter of the 13th cent. in Old French), (of a bodily fluid) to overflow (1314), to have the effect of contributing to some advantage or disadvantage to (a person) (late 14th cent. in redonder à , redonder en , early 15th cent. in redonder sur ), to proceed, arise from something (early 15th cent. in redonder de ), in Anglo-Norman also to resound, re-echo (second half of the 13th cent. or earlier), to rebound (end of the 13th cent. or earlier), to return, to come back (early 14th cent. or earlier) and its etymon classical Latin redundāre to flow back, to overflow, to spread over, to turn (to one's profit, loss, etc.), to recoil (upon), to be present to excess, to abound (in) < red- , variant (before a vowel) of re- re- prefix + undāre to flow in waves (see undation n.). Compare Catalan redundar (15th cent.), Spanish redundar (late 14th cent.), Portuguese redundar (1587), Italian ridondare (a1306; also †redondare , †redundare ), all earliest in sense 2a.The β. forms show loss of final -d . In the obsolete uses the precise sense is not always clear; in senses 3 and 5 there is probably some confusion with rebound v. (see discussion at that entry). Französisches etymol. Wörterbuch at redundare suggests that the French word in the sense ‘to rebound’ and related senses may show a different, ultimately imitative, origin. †1. a. intransitive.
