Etymology

Etymology tree

Egyptian sdmder.

Ancient Greek στίμμι (stímmi)der.

Coptic ⲉⲥⲑⲏⲙ (esthēm)bor.

Arabic إثمد

By form a metathesis away from Coptic ⲉⲥⲑⲏⲙ (esthēm), though derivation from an unattested oblique δ (d) form of Ancient Greek στίμμι (stímmi) has been suggested, ultimately from Egyptian sdm, possibly also conflated with Egyptian msdmt.
