Etymology 1
Disputed.
- From Proto-Indo-European *dʰuh₂mós, whence also Latin fūmus (“smoke”), Ancient Greek θῡμός (thūmós, “breath, spirit”), though the voiceless /t/ is unexpected.
- From Proto-Indo-European *h₁éh₁t-mō (“breath, soul”), whence also Sanskrit आत्मन् (ātmán), Proto-Germanic *ēþmaz, though the vowels are unexpected.
- Borrowed from Ancient Greek θῡμός (thūmós). This has been challenged on semantic grounds.
