common nouncommon nounverb

Syllable Decomposition

fonds

like fond, from Latin fundus ('bottom', 'base', 'land property', 'good', 'farm', 'property', 'domain', 'who confirms', 'who authorizes', 'who is a guarantor'). The s in this word is the mark of the nominative in Old French, which remained in the word as in fils. The distinction that appeared between fond and fonds with the help of this s is sometimes ignored by somewhat older authors.
