Etymology
1. "to give back, restore," 1432 (earlier "to pour back," 1386), from O.Fr.
refunder "restore," from L.
refundere "give back, restore," lit. "pour back," from
re- "back" +
fundere "to pour" (see found (2)). Specifically of money from 1553. The noun is 1866, from the verb.
2. From Middle English refunden, refounden, from Old French refondre, refonder, refunder (“to restore; pay back”), from Latin refundere; prefix re- (“re-”) + fundere (“to pour”): compare French refondre, refonder. See fuse (“to melt”), and compare refound (“to cast again”), and refuse. See: French '
refondre'.
