tamisium
Latin
editEtymology
editThe Medieval Latin term might be a borrowing from Old French tamis, or a continuation of earlier Latin. Further origin either from Gaulish or from Proto-West Germanic *tamisu (more at temse), which is in any case a cognate; also compare Ancient Greek τάμῐσος (támisos).
