It comes from the german Fötus
oe is ö
and english is a germanic language
Is that right? So it’s not the same as the oe in phoenix? I know in old books they used to fuse the letters.
If it’s right I’d want a source, the oe spelling in British English is as far as I was aware a let’s latinize thing in Britain.
