Some derive it from Proto-Baltic *sel-, *sal-, from Proto-Indo-European *sel-, a variant of *ser- (“to flow”); in this case, the original meaning would have been “stream, river,” from which “body of water”(cf. Lithuanian sálti (“to flow slowly”), Ancient Greek ἕλος (hélos, “swamp”) (< *selos), Sanskrit सरः (sáraḥ, “lake, pond”), perhaps also Latin insula < *in-sal-, and several river names: Salaca, Salica > Selke in Germany, Salate), then “something inside (a body of water),” “island.” Others derive sala from *ap(i)sala, from a verb meaning “to flow” (cf. Russian о́стров (óstrov, “island”), from Proto-Slavic *o-strovь, so that the original meaning would be “that which is surrounded by flowing (water)”). Still others consider sala to come from Proto-Indo-European *swel- (“to swell”), with as original meaning “(river) silt, deposits, sediments.” Cognates include Lithuanian salà; comparable Baltic-Finnic terms (Livonian sala (“island”), Estonian salu (“swamp island”), Finnish salo (“forest island; forest”)) are considered as borrowings from Baltic.[1] [Etymology 2] editSee the etymology of the corresponding lemma form.

39818 groom [[English]] ipa :/ɡɹuːm/[Anagrams] edit - Mogor [Etymology 1] edit1604, short for bridegroom (“husband-to-be”), from Middle English brydgrome, alteration (with intrusive r) of earlier bridegome (“bridegroom”), from Old English brȳdguma (“bridegroom”), from brȳd (“bride”) + guma (“man, hero”). In Middle English, the second element was re-analyzed as or influenced by grom, grome (“attendant”). Guma derives from Proto-Germanic *gumô (“man, person”), from Proto-Indo-European *dʰǵʰm̥mō; it is cognate to Icelandic gumi and Norwegian gume and, ultimately, human. [Etymology 2] editFrom Middle English grom, grome (“man-child, boy, youth”), of uncertain origin. Apparently related to Middle Dutch grom (“boy”), Old Icelandic grómr, gromr (“man, manservant, boy”), Old French gromme (“manservant”), from the same Proto-Germanic root. Possibly from Old English grōma, from Proto-Germanic *grōmô, related to *grōaną (“to grow”), though uncertain as *grōaną was used typically of plants; its secondary meaning being "to turn green".Alternative etymology describes Middle English grom, grome as an alteration of gome (“man”) with an intrusive r (also found in bridegroom, hoarse, cartridge, etc.), with the Middle Dutch and Old Icelandic cognates following similar variation of their respective forms.
