ζωμός

Ancient Greek

Alternative forms

  • ζώμος (zṓmos) — Doric

Etymology

Of unclear origin. Generally connected with ζύμη (zúmē, “leaven, beer yeast”), but the ablaut required (ō(u) : ū) is improbable. Connection with ζέω (zéō, “to ferment”) presupposes that Proto-Indo-European *yos-mo- developed into this word regularly.[1]
