Etymology

From Old High German fehida, from Proto-Germanic *faihiþō, from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Indo-European *pAik-, *pAig- (“ill-meaning, wicked”), Compare also English feud, Dutch vete, German Fehde, among others. This etymology is incomplete. You can help Wiktionary by elaborating on the origins of this term. I believe it is attested in the Edictum Rothari, which may mean it entered Italian through Lombardic OHG.
