Etymology : Wend is related to the verb wind, which means, among other things, “to follow a series of curves and turns.” Wend itself comes from Old English wendan, referring to turning or changing direction or position. Its use in senses related to going or moving along a course has lent the English verb go its past tense form went (as a past tense form of wend, went has long since been superseded by wended).
