Meanings
- home
- house
- village
Etymology
From Proto-Indo-European *ḱóymos (‘village, home’), either from o-grade form of *ḱey- (‘to be lying down, to settle’) + *-mos (action/result noun forming suffix) (this derivation is preferred by Kroonen), or from *tḱóymos (‘settlement, dwelling’), from o-grade form of *tḱey- (‘to settle, dwell’) + *-mos (action/result noun forming suffix). If the second proposal is correct, cognate of Sanskrit क्षेम (kṣéma) (kṣéma, ‘basis, foundation; residing, resting, abiding at ease’), Lithuanian kaimas (‘village, countryside’) (though this could be a borrowing).
