Definition warm

Etymology 1

From Middle English warm, werm, from Old English wearm, from Proto-Germanic *warmaz, with different proposed origins:

  1. Proto-Indo-European *g??er- (“warm, hot”), related to Ancient Greek ?????? (thermós), Latin formus, Sanskrit ???? (gharma).
  2. Proto-Indo-European *wer- (“to burn”), related to Hittite [script needed] (warnuzi) and to Old Church Slavonic ?????? (variti).

The dispute is due to differing opinions on how initial Proto-Indo-European *g??- evolved in Germanic: some think that *g?? would have turned to *b, and that the root *g??er- would instead have given rise to burn etc. Some have also proposed a merger of the two roots.
