History of hondo

Inherited from Old Spanish fondo, from Latin fundus, with the Latin noun taking on an adjectival sense in Spanish. An alternative theory sees the Old Spanish fondo as a shortening of an earlier, pre-literary *perfondo, from the Latin adjective profundus instead, which matches with the sense of the word better; however this is uncertain. The word profundo is a neologism later borrowed from Latin. Cf. also the Spanish noun fondo (“bottom”), which may have preserved the old initial 'f' to distinguish it from the adjective hondo, its doublet.
