Descendants

  • Old Galician-Portuguese: tomar
  • Old Leonese: tomar
  • Old Spanish: tomar

Notes

  • A Latin, *tumāre, is unattested; its meaning is hypothetical, inferred from its Romance reflexes.
  • There is a theory that it may derive from Latin domō (*domarē > *tomarē) “to tame, subdue” (see Old Galician-Portuguese definition for (possible) semantic development) or possibly from Proto-Germanic forms (see 𐌲𐌰𐍄𐌰𐌼𐌾𐌰𐌽 (gatamjan), *𐍄𐌰𐌼𐌾𐌰𐌽 or other potential reflex), though this is speculative.[1][2]
