warm Adj. ‘von angenehmer Temperatur’ (zwischen kalt und heiß), ahd. (9. Jh.), mhd. mnd. asächs. mnl. nl. warm, aengl. wearm, engl. warm, anord. varmr, schwed. varm (germ. *warma-) läßt sich als Bildung mit m-Suffix wohl mit hethit. u̯ar-‘brennen’, aslaw. varъ ‘Hitze’, russ. var (вар) ‘siedendes Wasser, Pech, Hitze’, aslaw. variti, russ. varít’ (варить) ‘kochen’, aslaw. (ablautend) vьrěti ‘kochen’, lit. vìrti ‘sprudeln, wallen, kochen’ auf eine Wurzel ie. *u̯er- ‘brennen, verbrennen, schwärzen’ zurückführen.
Uncertain. Two different etymologies have been proposed.
- From Proto-Indo-European *gʷʰór-mo-s, from *gʷʰer- (“warm, hot”) + *-mos, related to Ancient Greek θερμός (thermós), Latin formus, Persian گرم (garm) and Sanskrit घर्म (gharma).[1]
- From Proto-Indo-European *wór-mo-s, from *wer- (“to burn”) + *-mos, related to Hittite [script needed] (warnuzi).[2]
The dispute is due to differing hypotheses on how Proto-Indo-European initial *gʷʰ- evolved in Germanic. Some maintain that *gʷʰ would have turned to *b, and therefore that the root *gʷʰer- would instead have given rise to *ber- (“to burn”) etc. (compare *banô < *gʷʰon-ō). A counterargument (e.g. Kroonen (2013: p. xxviii)) is that Germanic *w is in fact the usual outcome of *gʷʰ, citing uncontroversial examples such as *snaiwaz < *snóygʷʰos and *neurô < *négʷʰrō. There have also been etymologies proposing a merger of the two roots.
