Fun fact: The past tense of “wend” was once “went”, but that was co-opted for the past tense of “go”, and the past tense of wend is now “wended”.
“But what was the past tense of ‘go’ before that?”
Kind of hard to tell what it would be now, but “goed” does seem likely - like we might have said as toddlers - but irregular “yode” / “yoed” is closer to the old form and is also possible.
Evidence from other Germanic languages as well as “do” becoming “did” suggests a less likely “gid”, “gig”, “ging” or even “gang” (compare “sang”).

Dorothy and friends wend their way along the aureate, anfractuous road and only lollygagged for some flowers.
I always thought “lollygag” was a southern speech idiom, like “piddling” or “dilly-dallying.”
Hey I know aureate from the Red Riding series! (DAMN good series btw)
From wence doth thou wend?
