editEtymology
editBorrowed from Middle French chaudun, from Old French chaudun, from Medieval Latin caldūmen, from caldus (“warm”) + -men (nominal suffix). Compare Middle Low German kaldūne.
In Middle English, the suffix has been remodelled after -oun. Some forms have undergone further remodelling; either /r/ has been inserted after caudroun or the suffix has been reinterpreted as wyn (“wine”).
