Pronunciation
  • IPA(key): /ˈtym/

Etymology 1

Traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *dʰuh₂mós,[1][2] whence also Latin fūmus (“smoke”), Ancient Greek θῡμός (thūmós, “breath, spirit”), though the voiceless /t/ is unexpected. Alternatively, possibly from Proto-Indo-European *h₁éh₁t-mō (“breath, soul”),[3] whence also Sanskrit आत्मन् (ātmán), Proto-Germanic *ēþmaz, though the vowels are unexpected. A borrowing from Ancient Greek θῡμός (thūmós)[4] has been challenged since this word is unknown in any meanings close to "smoke".[3]
