Etymology

From Proto-Slavic *pěnędzь, which was borrowed from some Germanic term, probably from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Old High German phenning (“a kind of coin”), which comes from an older (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Old High German form phendi(n)g. Older origin is not clear, sometimes it is being connected with Latin pondus (“weight”). Compare Czech pence, English penny and German Pfennig.
