Etymology
From Middle English gome (“man”), from Old English guma (“man”), from Proto-West Germanic *gumō, from Proto-Germanic *gumô (“man”), from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰmṓ (“earthling”), shortened variant of *dʰǵʰm̥mō (“earthling”). Cognate to Gothic 𐌲𐌿𐌼𐌰 (guma) and Latin homō. Doublet of hombre, homo, ombre, and omi. See also human.
