adja-stemmaimed, lamePossibly, via an earlier sense “bent (out of shape), crooked”, from a Proto-Indo-European root meaning “to bend, curve”, but the reconstruction is disputed:In either case, considered cognate with Lithuanian kam̃pas (‘corner’), Ancient Greek κάμπτω (kámptō, ‘to bend, bow, curve’) and Ancient Greek καμπή (kampḗ, ‘bend’). Derksen, maintaining the former etymology, supposes the u-vocalism of Lithuanian kum̃p- is secondary.
