Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French respoundre.

Etymology: < Anglo-Norman respundre, respoundre, respounder, Anglo-Norman and Old French, Middle French respondre respond v. Hence an etymological doublet of later respond v.The rhyme in quot. a1400, as well as the variant from the Fairfax manuscript, suggests that a form with the vowel of the other forms probably underlies this passage, and that the spelling respond results from association with Anglo-Norman and Middle French respondre; however, this is far from certain, given the range of formal variation shown also by stound n.¹
