Ancient Greek edit
Etymology edit
Of Pre-Greek origin, possibly Semitic (often thought to be Phoenician for “man from the east”), from Proto-Semitic *q-d-m (“to precede, come before”), with influence from κέκασμαι (kékasmai, “I have excelled, shined”). Compare Classical Syriac ܩܕܡ (“to come before”), Arabic قدم, Hebrew קדם.
