spasirom

Russenorsk

Alternative forms

• spaserom
• spasirum

Etymology

Probably from German spazieren (“to stroll”) + -om. May also be derived from Russian pronouciation of spaserom, where the sound e, which by any reason became unstressed and iotated, changed into i (compare to loan words like дельтовидный (djelʹtovidnyj)).

Verb

spasirom

1. to go
