| Does this word actually come from words meaning 'to build'? This seems more closely related to "abscond," where 'cond' deals with hiding something or stowing it away. | | Does this word actually come from words meaning 'to build'?

So yes, you're basically right, it is cognate with the ''cond'' in {{term|abscond}}. <{{#switch:|term|ital=i|head|bold=b|span}} class="latinx" {{#if:|lang="{{{lang}}}"}}>[[User:Widsith|Ƿidsiþ]]</{{#switch:|term|ital=i|head|bold=b|span}}> 15:57, 29 September 2011 (UTC) |
