Borrowed from French cime, cyme (“top, summit”), from the Vulgar Latin *cima, from the Latin c?ma (“young sprout of a cabbage”, “spring shoots of cabbage”), from the Ancient Greek ???? (kûma, “anything swollen, such as a wave or billow”; “fetus”, “embryo”, “sprout of a plant”), from ??? (kú?, “I conceive”, “I become pregnant”; in the aorist “I impregnate”). For considerably more information, see cyma, which is an etymological doublet.
