Etymology
A helpful way to remember founder (the horse disease) is to link it to the older verb to founder, which meant 'to sink' or 'collapse'; a horse with founder seems to 'sink' on its feet and becomes lame. That's why founder describes a serious hoof illness that makes a horse stumble and hurt its feet.
