Etymology
Unknown. Cognate with Romanian adulmeca, adulmec. Possibly from a Vulgar Latin root *adosmicō, from *adosmō, from Ancient Greek ὀσμάω (osmáō), which would make sense semantically but is difficult to connect phonetically. Compare Italian ormare, Spanish husmear, husmar probably coming from a Latin *osmāre, ultimately from Ancient Greek. It may be linked with urmã / ulmã through an *adormicāre. Another less likely etymology may be *adolmicāre, ultimately from oleō.
Verb
ulmic (past particple ulmicatã)
