Proto-Germanic edit

Etymology edit

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), 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, basis, foundation; residing, resting, abiding at ease), Lithuanian kaimas (village, countryside) (though this could be a borrowing).
