From (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Old High German zam, from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Germanic *tamaz. The vowel may be influenced by cognate German zahm. Luxembourgish zam(m) is the expected outcome of the uninflected stem, but one might expect *zuem, *zumm from the inflected forms instead. Also cognate with Dutch tam, English tame.
