Etymology of REFUND

The word "refund" originated from the Middle French word "refonder", which meant "to renew" or "to reestablish". This Middle French term comes from the Latin word "refundere", which combines the prefix "re-" (meaning "again" or "back") and the word "fundere" (meaning "to pour"). The combination of these roots in Latin implies "to pour back" or "to pour again", which corresponds to the concept of returning money or giving someone back what was originally paid. As a result, "refund" in English refers to the action of returning money or giving a reimbursement.
