Emily Dickinson Lexicon

FOUND, v.t. [L. fundo, fudi, fusum; Fr. fondre; Sp. fundir, or hundir; It. fondere. The elements are probably Fd; n being adventitious.]

To cast; to form by melting a metal and pouring it into a mold. Milton. [This verb is seldom used, but the derivative foundery is in common use. For found we use cast.]
