[…] suspensa prora nauem in puppim statuebat; dein remissa subito uelut ex muro cadentem nauem cum ingenti trepidatione nautarum ita undae adfligebant ut etiamsi recta recciderat, aliquantum aquae acciperet. ((please add an English translation of this quotation)) [27 BCE – 25 BCE, Titus Livius, Ab urbe condita 24.34]
Sin hoc persaepe accidit ut et factos aliquos et non factos esse miremur, si campus atque illae undae comitiorum, ut mare profundum et immensum, sic effervescunt quodam quasi aestu ut ad alios accedant, ab aliis autem recedant, tamen nos in impetu studiorum et motu temeritatis modum aliquem et consilium et rationem requiremus? ((please add an English translation of this quotation)) [54 BCE, Cicero, Pro Plancio 6]
Inde, ubi quarta sitim caeli collegerit hora,
Et cantu quaerulae rumpent arbusta cicadae,
Ad puteos aut alta greges ad stagna jubebo
currentem ilignis potare canalibus undam;
[…]
Translation by James B. Greenough, 1900
When heaven's fourth hour draws on the thickening drought,
And shrill cicalas pierce the brake with song,
Then at the well-springs bid them, or deep pools,
From troughs of holm-oak quaff the running wave:
[…] [c. 37 BCE – 30 BCE, Vergilius, Georgicon 3.327–330]

Etymology

1. Uncertain. Possibly from a collective of Proto-Indo-European *udn-om n (“body of water”) (compare Latvian ūdens (“water”)) reanalysed as a feminine singular and with metathesis of *-dn- to *-nd-, from *wódr̥, *udn- (“water”), attested in Italic as Umbrian 𐌖𐌕𐌖𐌓 (utur, “water”).
2. The resemblance to Proto-Germanic *unþī (“wave”) appears to be coincidental, with at most minor semantic confluence. See: Latvian Nouns 'ūdens'.
