Serbo-Croatian[edit]
Etymology 1[edit]
Probably related to шу̑м (“noise, buzz”). A parallel may then be drawn to the onomatopoeic origin of Proto-Slavic *gajь (“forest”).
Otherwise, according to P. Skok,[1] the term may alternatively be of paleo-Balkan origin (Illyrian or Thracian); he draws connection with Albanian proshëm (“wood”).
