τόρμοςholeτράμιςspace between anus and genitals; perineum*tórmosborehole
nounmasculinea-stemintestineLikely from Proto-Indo-European *tórmos (‘borehole’), and cognate with Ancient Greek τράμις (trámis, ‘space between anus and genitals; perineum’). Though Kroonen explicitly adduces no further cognates, Orel appears to consider the root further derived from *terh₁- (‘to bore, pierce’), and additionally compares Ancient Greek τόρμος (tórmos, ‘hole’), τείρω (teírō, ‘to wear out, distress’), τερέω (teréō, ‘to drill, bore’).
