[addierush]

The word PONDE where does it come from and its meaning?

[Postdog]

no such word

[swedeheart]

It's Middle English for pond, just look at all the fysshe will you, Postdog ;-) From Old English pund

[swedeheart]

(strictly speaking enclosure)

[Quizmonster]

In the enclosure sense, as indicated by SH above, it's the same as our modern word pound in the way we use it for dog-pound, for example...ie a closed area where stray dogs are kept.

[Postdog]

Well, it didn't show as aword when I googled it :(

[swedeheart]

...ner ner ner ner ner...

...just kidding, Postdog - I've often noticed that people come up with different search results not just depending on their search strings and search engines but also on what country they're in, and I'm in Sweden and probably you're not.

Hi Monster, good to see you.
