This word is strictly of Germanic heritage, although the root is from PIE, meaning to fasten, deu.

To fasten, yes, but I've only found it used of animals, mostly of horses at a hitching post.

Don't we also tether rowboats and such?

There is also the game of tetherball.

And the idiom, at the end of one's tether.
