Etymology

From Middle High German senden, from Old High German senten, from Proto-Germanic *sandijaną. Compare Dutch zenden, English send, Danish sende, Gothic 𐍃𐌰𐌽𐌳𐌾𐌰𐌽 (sandjan).

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /ˈzɛndən/, [ˈzɛndən], [ˈzɛndn̩]

Verb

2. (transitive, chiefly literary) to send

Usage notes
