Old Irish
[edit]Etymology
[edit]MacBain suggests a relation to Ancient Greek θυμός (thumós, “soul, desire, passion”) and Lithuanian dūmas (“smoke”) (NB: Perhaps erroneously, MacBain glosses the Lithuanian as dumas (“thought”)). Regardless, if true, it would be from a derivative of Proto-Indo-European *dʰewh₂- (“smoke”).
