Structurally similar to the gerundive suffix -undus. It reflect an old gerundive formed to the element formed to the -b- of the imperfect or future tense. If this theory is accepted, then the term could continue earlier Proto-Italic *-βuwont(i)nos, from Proto-Indo-European *-bʰuH-ont-(i)nos, itself a combination of the root Proto-Indo-European *bʰuH- (“to become, to grow”) and one possible pre-form of the gerundive suffix, which may reflect *-ont- (participial suffix) + *-is (noun-forming suffix) + *-nós (adjective-forming suffix). The putative Proto-Italic pre-form *-βuwont(i)nos could follow a development from *-βuwont(i)nos > *-buwondos > *-buwundus > *-būndus > *-bundus. The final shift from *-būndus > *-bundus would constitute an example of Osthoff's Law in Latin. Compare -undus and -cundus.
-bundus (feminine -bunda, neuter -bundum); first/second-declension suffix
Adjectives in -bundus tended to denote emotional states, as in tremebundus (“trembling, shaking”), fremebundus (“roaring”), and gemebundus (“groaning”). Adjectives with this suffix appear infrequently: They are mostly hapax legomena and no derived nouns are attested, though one comparative (tremebundior) and several adverbs (furibunde and plorabunde) are known. Forms marked by this suffix are entirerly absent from authors such as Terence, Caesar, Tibullus, and Nepos, perhaps because their emotive character was deemed inappropriate for works seeking to appear neutral.
First/second-declension adjective.
