Proto-Slavic

Alternative reconstructions

  • *ruma, *ryma
  • *řumъ m, *rumъ m, *rymъ m

Etymology

Inherited from Proto-Balto-Slavic *rjauˀmāˀ f, *rjauˀmas m, *rūˀm-, from Proto-Indo-European *h₃rewH-meh₂ f, *h₃rewH-mos m, *h₃ruH-m-, from *h₃rewH- (to roar). Cognate with Latin rūmor (rumor) (from Proto-Italic *roumōs).

By surface analysis, *řuti (to roar) +‎ *-ma. The extension ‑з‑ (‑с‑) in East Slavic languages ​​characterizes the intensity of the action.

Noun

*řuma f

  1. noise, clamor, uproar
  2. crybaby, sniveller
