The origin of "wend" can be traced back to the Old English word "wendan", which meant "to proceed, turn, twist, or change direction". It is related to the Old High German word "wenten" and Old Norse word "vinda", both of which also meant "to turn or wind".
Interestingly, the Old English word "wendan" is cognate with the modern German word "wenden", which shares a similar meaning.
Over time, "wend" evolved into "wenden" in Middle English, which eventually became "wende" and "wended" as the past tense form. The word has remained relatively unchanged in its structure and meaning since then.
