Etymology of HYND

The word "hynd" can be traced back to Old English as "hī(e)ne", which originally meant a servant or a farmhand who would assist with agricultural work. It is derived from the Proto-Germanic word "*hunją", which carried similar meanings of a domestic servant or laborer. Over time, the word evolved and in Middle English, it began referring specifically to a servant who attended to a horse.
