Origin of the word pounding

The word "pounding" originates from the Old English word "pundian," which meant "to beat, strike, or hammer." This, in turn, comes from the Proto-Germanic word "*pundōn," meaning "to beat, pound." The concept of "pounding" is thus rooted in the physical act of striking something repeatedly with force, as seen in the use of a hammer or pestle. Over time, "pounding" has evolved to describe a variety of strong, repeated actions, including the beating of a heart, the forceful impact of rain, and even the intense pressure of emotions.
