The Norwegian word is "vindu" with the etymology you describe. In Sweden, though, we use "fönster", obviously coming from the Latin word. So while the two Scandinavian languages Swedish and Norwegian are very similar, "window" is an example of a word which is quite different.
I don't know what Danes use.
