'winded' originates from English, specifically as the past participle form of the verb 'wind' (sense: to cause to breathe hard or to knock the breath out), which in Modern English is used to form adjectives like 'winded.'

'wind' (verb) in Middle English appeared in senses deriving both from Old English 'windan' (to turn, coil) and Old English 'wind' (breath, air). The sense 'to cause to breathe hard / knock the breath out' developed in later Middle English, and the past participle form became 'winded', giving the adjective 'winded'.

Initially related to notions of 'air' or 'turning' in Old English, the relevant sense evolved to mean 'to affect someone's breathing' and so 'winded' came to mean 'out of breath' or 'having had breath knocked out.'
