Etymology : Founder is related to Latin fundus, meaning “bottom” or “base.” When something “founders,” it usually hits the bottom in one sense or another. When a ship founders, it sinks to the bottom of the sea, for example, and if your endeavor is foundering, it isn’t doing well and is therefore headed downward.
