Proto-Germanic

Etymology

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).
