Etymology

From Old Norse fjǫðr, from Proto-Germanic *feþrō, from Proto-Indo-European *péth₂r̥ ~ pth₂én- (“feather, wing”), from *peth₂- (“to fly”). The meaning “spring” stems from one of the secondary senses of German Feder (“feather”). Cognate with German Low German Fedder, English feather. See: Old Norse Nouns 'fjǫðr', German Nouns 'Feder', English Nouns 'feather'.
