Etymology
[edit]From Proto-Germanic *þūsundī, of unclear etymology. Kroonen suggests an earlier Proto-Indo-European *tuHsdḱmto-, compounded from a prefix *tuHs- (“fat”, from *tewh₂-) and *ḱm̥tóm (“hundred”).[1] The form þúshundrað might thus be the older form, combining hundrað (“hundred”) with a þús- prefix.
