apud

1. next to; together with

• apor, aput

Seems connected with ob and ad, thus its strict meaning would be “on to”, “unto”. De Vaan theorizes either a connection with apiō (“to tie”) or a derivation from *ad-pod, formed by the preverb ad (“to”) and the word for "foot", meaning something like "at the foot of" (cf. French chez). The latter option is found in other words such as oppidum.
