zöm
Hungarian edit
Etymology edit
First attested in 1815. Back-formation from zömök, the latter from obsolete zomok/zomak with a vowel-harmony swift, ultimately from Proto-Slavic *smokъ, possibly from South Slavic, with voicing of the initial consonant and an epenthetic vowel. Created during the Hungarian language reform, which took place in the 18th–19th centuries.[1]
