Etymology [edit]
From Middle English heven, from Old English heofon (“heaven, sky”), from Proto-Germanic *himinaz, *himilaz (“heaven, sky”), from Proto-Indo-European *k(')em-en-, *k(')em-er- (“sky, cloud”), from Proto-Indo-European *ḱam- (“cover, shroud, clothes”). Cognate with Low German Heven (“heaven, sky”), Old Saxon heƀan (“heaven, sky”), Old Norse hifinn, himinn (“heaven, sky”), Gothic (himins, “heaven, sky”), Dutch hemel (“heaven”), German Himmel (“heaven”), and perhaps Welsh cwmwl (“cloud”), Cornish kommol (“cloud”), Breton koumoul (“cloud”) – unless all these three reflect a borrowing of Latin cumulus (“heap”) into Proto-British instead, compare Modern English cumulus (“a type of cloud”). Related to chemise.
